How to: Inject CoreWebView2.ExecuteScriptAsync ?

Question

Thanks ;

I want to Inject a .jsscript into Navigation Completed Event . 
This is as close as I have gotten so far .

        private void webView_NavigationCompleted(object sender, CoreWebView2NavigationCompletedEventArgs e)
        {
//            string htmlDoc = await webView.CoreWebView2.ExecuteScriptAsync("document.documentElement.outerHTML");
//            infoBox.Text = htmlDoc;
        }
```Is there a WebView2 example somewhere for this ;   
Pls , how can I do this ?      
Thanks

Sorry to say , I tried all that you mentioned :

These are the error msgs when trying to compile with 'PF5' ,
Because there is no Start Button .

Sorry to say I get the following messages for all "Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages" I have tried to install :

This package contains core runtime assemblies shared between ASP.NET MVC and ASP.NET Web Pages.

Hi Vernon,

Thank you for posting this issue in Microsoft Q&A forum.

As you know, the await operator can only be used within an async method, so if you want to use it in private void webView_NavigationCompleted(XXXXX) event, you probably need to add async in the codes, like this private async void webView_NavigationCompleted(XXXXX).

In addition, I did some tests on my side and please kindly check(refer to) following codes(snippet):

        private async void webView_NavigationCompleted(object sender, Microsoft.Web.WebView2.Core.CoreWebView2NavigationCompletedEventArgs e)  
        {  
            string html = await webView.CoreWebView2.ExecuteScriptAsync("document.documentElement.outerHTML");  
            var htmldecoded = System.Web.Helpers.Json.Decode(html);             
            richTextBox1.Text = htmldecoded;  
        }  

The result:

• Update1:

System.Web.Helpers.XXXX is included in this reference: System.Web.Helpers, please also remember to add System.Web.Helpers reference by right-clicking References > Add Reference… > Assemblies > type system.web.help in the “Search box” and select the System.Web.Helpers reference > OK.

Sincerely,
Tianyu
