.NET Framework Class Library
HtmlDocument..::.Body Property

Gets the HtmlElement for the BODY tag.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Forms
Assembly:  System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Visual Basic
Public ReadOnly Property Body As HtmlElement
C#
public HtmlElement Body { get; }
Visual C++
public:
property HtmlElement^ Body {
    HtmlElement^ get ();
}
F#
member Body : HtmlElement

Property Value

Type: System.Windows.Forms..::.HtmlElement
The HtmlElement object for the BODY tag.

An HTML document is split into two major sections:

  • HEAD, which contains the document's title, any document meta-data, and SCRIPT elements.

  • BODY, which contains all of the elements involved in the on-screen appearance of the document.

There is no equivalent Head property on HtmlDocument. To obtain the HEAD element, use GetElementsByTagName.

The following code example creates a new DIV element and appends it to the bottom of the document using the AppendChild method.

Visual Basic
Private Sub AppendText(ByVal Text As String)
    If (WebBrowser1.Document IsNot Nothing) Then
        With WebBrowser1.Document
            Dim TextElem As HtmlElement = .CreateElement("DIV")
            TextElem.InnerText = Text
            .Body.AppendChild(TextElem)
        End With
    End If
End Sub
C#
private void AppendText(String text)
{
    if (webBrowser1.Document != null)
    {
        HtmlDocument doc = webBrowser1.Document;
        HtmlElement textElem = doc.CreateElement("DIV");
        textElem.InnerText = text;
        doc.Body.AppendChild(textElem);
    }
}
