Is there a way to enable the IE8 Developer Tools from inside WebBrowser control in a .NET application

Question

If you have IE8, you may have noticed a really handy feature that MS has added. Hit F12 and Developer Tools, a firebug like debugger, pops up. This is extremely useful for debug

Answer 1

No, as others have said this is not possible. However there is a way you can wire most of the window errors through to a custom handler. Once the document has finished loading you can attach a listener to the window. e.g.

webBrowser.DocumentCompleted += (o, e) =>
{
    webBrowser.Document.Window.Error += (w, we) =>
    {
        we.Handled = true;

        // Do something with the error...
        Debug.WriteLine(
            string.Format(
               "Error: {1}\nline: {0}\nurl: {2}",
               we.LineNumber, //#0
               we.Description, //#1
               we.Url));  //#2
    };
};
