Hi Coders,

I have windows application in framework 3.5, windows server 2008 r2 operating system.
Here everything works fine.

Later I have moved the application to framework 4, windows server 2012 r2 operating system.

here while running the application its throwing runtime error like

Error:
"The WebBrowser control does not support the Cursor property."

exactly at
__browser.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;

Immediately I saw the event viewer, it is showing the error

Error:

System.Net.WebException: The request was aborted: The request was canceled.
at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse()
at StatService.SoftwareStatisticsHttpRequest.Post(String url, SoftwareStatisticsProxySettings proxySettings, Byte[] inData, Byte[]& outData)

I am unable to find why this error is coming. can you please tell me why this runtime error is coming.

As far as your Cursor problem is concerned, the WebBrowser does not support editing the Cursor. Read more about it at: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/caa06048-b90f-4fcf-842e-46da9c89882c/webbrowser-control-how-do-i-set-its-cursor?forum=winforms[^]. You are required to perform this action inside your HTML document. Probably using CSS would be a great idea, just write this CSS code for your HTML,

CSS

html {
   cursor: wait;
}

This would perform similar to what you want to do.

Secondly, the problem you are referring to it quite understandable by the error message, "The request was canceled." My guess to this would be that you are setting time out for the request (if you are admin of the web application) or second guess that the website you are trying to refer to requires "Same-Origin" policy. You cannot get resources from it. Quite other possible reasons. Why not debug it?
