Internet ExplorerClass Visible property not working when InternetExplorerClass is instantiated in a web service
- Hello,
I'm trying to open a new Internet Explorer window each time a web method of a certain web service is called.
The window seems to be created as I can see the process iexplore.exe in the task manager, but is always invisible even if I set Visible property of InternetExplorerClass instance to true.
Below is the code I am using:[WebMethod] public string OpenIE() { ThreadStart ts = delegate { InternetExplorer ie = new InternetExplorerClass(); ie.Visible = true; }; Thread t = new Thread(ts); t.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA); t.Start(); t.Join(); return string.Empty; }
The above code executes successfully and produces no exceptions.
Does anyone know what the problem could be?
Thanks

- Maybe you can help me and email me at husker5625@aol.com. I have had problems with connection problems ever since I downloaded one care. They dont respond and it is very hard to get help from them. I liked the product at first because it got rid of any virus, but now I have 2 computers less than a year old that are having hard drive problems and are linked to the compatibility of internet explorer and windows live one care. I am so frustrated because I purchased this stupid program. Thank you.
