Following WebBrowser control works fine. It navigates through all the urls available in “MyTableTest.html”. But it is based on a string nextNavigationUrl. The next navigation url is filled from ExerciseApp function.
if (!visitedProducts.Contains(productUrl))
{
WriteLogFunction("productUrl -- " + productUrl);
visitedProducts.Add(productUrl);
isClicked = true;
//e1.InvokeMember("Click");
nextNavigationUrl = productUrl;
break;
}
And the actual webBrowser1.Navigate(url) happens from NavigateAsync.
Action startNavigation = () => this.webBrowser1.Navigate(url);
var html = await NavigateAsync(ct, startNavigation);
Instead of storing this url in a string, I need to use the InvokeMember method. This is needed because in my real scenario I have a javascript function executed when the anchor tag is clicked.
QUESTION
How can we modify this to use InvokeMember?
e1.InvokeMember("Click");
Note: The current code, though working, has some intermittent issues as mentioned in Task is not completing second time [Intermittent Issue] – Async/ Await. But that is a different topic.
CODE
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()

InitializeComponent();
this.Load += MainForm_Load;

// Form Load event handler
async void MainForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// cancel the whole operation in 2000 sec
var cts = new CancellationTokenSource(2000000);
nextNavigationUrl = GetHomoePageUrl();
await NavigateInLoopAsync(cts.Token);
}
// navigate to each URL in a loop

// if the page has frames
