Iam very new to coding so please pardon my lack of knowledge.
I made a program "Music player" that uses webBrowser to play video from youtube but from what i understood from other posts it cant work due to webBrowser being IE7. I dont neccessarily have to use webBrowser but it seemed like the best way.
Is there a way to "update" IE or do i need to use different method?
code:
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
namespace MusicPlayer_V4._1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
string _ytUrl;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public string VideoId
{
get
{
var ytMatch = new Regex(@"youtu(?:\.be|be\.com) / (?:.*v(?:.*/|=)|(?:.*/)?)([a-zA-Z0-_]+)").Match(_ytUrl);
return ytMatch.Success ? ytMatch.Groups[1].Value : string.Empty;
}
}
//user input (URL)
private void textBox2_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
//play button
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
_ytUrl = txtUrl.Text;
webBrowser.Navigate($"http://youtube.com/v/{VideoId}?version=3");
}
//help button
private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
//browser
private void webBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e)
{
}
private void label1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
}
}
>Solution :
The way moving forward is to use WebView2 which is basically the same thing as a WebView but based on the chromium-based edge. It will be always up to date on windows 10/11 machines and it works down to Windows 7.
