Flash & .Net

[fabio]

Hi. Can someone please confirm me that Flash works in .net webbrowser control installed on Windows 8 Pro 32-Bits?
I can watch flash videos perfectly fine on Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and Chrome, but not in any .net webbrowser. (I have the latest flash updates installed).

If Internet Explorer works, so should the webbrowser control. Try recompiling for x86 instead of AnyCPU.

The "webbrowser" control built into .Net simply invokes Internet Explorer.
Also, Adobe did announce at one point that they have no intention of making a 64bit version of the flash player, granted it's been a couple of years now but I could never get flash to work in IE9 x64, it would only ever work in x86 IE9.

For the record, there IS a Flash Player 64-bits, you can download it in the beta downloads section. But the percentage of the population using a 64 bits browser is so abysmally low no one ever notices...

Thank you both for your help

I'll check it out.

this does the trick! Nevertheless, there is still one problem to be solved:

The "webbrowser" control built into .Net simply invokes Internet Explorer.

however, seem to be some differences. Here is a flash site using Internet Explorer 10:



... and here the same page using c# code (just by using webBrowser1.Navigate("...")


- The expand button doesn't appear
- It shows the "Watch on YouTube" button but I'm already there!
- Screen Goes black when switching to full screen mode... None of this happens in IE.

Try using the Gecko browser control in your app instead: geckofx - An open-source component for embedding Mozilla Gecko (Firefox) in .NET applications. - Google Project Hosting
