Solution 2

I'm assuming you're talking about the sites visited by any web browser.

The only way to do that would be to implement a proxy server between your clients and the Internet. Any browser on the client side would be configured to go through the proxy to get to any site. The proxy can then log all of this stuff.

Solution 1

Not too clear on your need or effort made.

IIS Logs would help in monitoring the websites visited. See here a similar question and discussion around it with sample: C# code for monitoring websites visited [^]

That would log all the web sites VISITORS, not the sites a client visited.

While not an exact solution, the discussion brought up a few alternatives worth investigating

to be more clear i have a c#.net project with a browser in it and iam able to visits websites on my program,so i just need a code that will log all the sites i visit on my program.

It would have been nice if you specified that in your original post so people could figure out exactly what you were doing instead of guessing at it.

Handle the Havigating or Navigated event of the WebBrowser control and in the event arguments, you'll find a Url parameter that will tell you where the request is going.

i have tried to use private void webBrowser1_Navigated(object sender,
WebBrowserNavigatedEventArgs e)
{
toolStripTextBox1.Text = webBrowser1.Url.ToString();
}
but it is still not working

Dave Kreskowiak 23-Jun-12 21:36pm

It works fine, so long as you've wired up the event, like:
this.webBrowser1.Navigated += new WebBrowserNavigatedEventHandler(this.webBrowser1_Navigated);

You also don't have to call Url.ToString(). Url is already a string.

so do i place this in the webBrowser navigated event handler because it is still not working.the textbox is not being updated.i want to record or log all sites i visit and place the history in a textbox.plz help

Dave Kreskowiak 24-Jun-12 10:25am

No, that does not go in the event handler. It wires up the event handler so the event works! That code goes somewhere else, like in your code that initializes your application.

If you don't know how to wire up an event in C#, you've got some very basic things to learn.

iam still not getting the correct output,when i visit a site,it places the web address in the textbox but when i visit another site,it replaces the previous address with da current one.i want to place all the addresses of sites i visit in the textbox

Dave Kreskowiak 24-Jun-12 15:16pm

You're kidding me?? This is simple string manipulation!

MyTextBox.Text = MyTextBox.Text & Environment.NewLine & newURL
