HtmlEditor.Document and Whidbey

I don't use the HtmlEditor as a HTML-enabled editor but as a window for dynamically displaying highly formatted info to the User. This means I use HtmlEditor.Document to access the DOM via objects in the mshtml namespace and change their contents, like the HTMLDocument and IHTMLElement. Will the browser control in Whidbey allow me to do this? If not, can we retrofit mshtml onto the browser control? Will the browser control in Whidbey allow me to display an HTML string in addition to a document on disk?

I believe (Tim can give you more info) that you can get at the entire dom from the Whidby browser control. In fact we may be able to get right into editing functionality with it at a later date and really cut down on the amount of code and get a few things working that we never have been able to get working right. We'll see... I'm holding my breath until I can build my project in Vs.net 2005, which I still can't in Beta 1 because of bugs in the Office Interop modules, and an assortment of other issues with the conversion.

Yup. I just checked it out and it does provide access to the DOM via HTMLDocument and the displaying of HTML strings (in addition to files).
Cool.
Cool.
