Prevent scrollbars with WPF WebBrowser displaying content

c# wpf webbrowser-control scrollbar

I'm using the WPF WebBrowser component to display some very simple HTML content. However, since I don't know the content size in advance, I'm currently getting scrollbars on the control when I load certain datasets.

Basically, how can I force (or otherwise effect the equivalent of forcing) the WebBrowser to expand in size so that all content is displayed without the need for scrollbars?

I guess you can get width and height of the webbrowser component content through its Document property which should be of mshtml.HTMLDocument type. I believe you should be able to use body or documentElement properties to get needed sizes; smth like this:

mshtml.HTMLDocument htmlDoc = webBrowser.Document as mshtml.HTMLDocument;
if (htmlDoc != null && htmlDoc.body != null)
{
    mshtml.IHTMLElement2 body = (mshtml.IHTMLElement2)htmlDoc.body;
    webBrowser.Width = body.scrollWidth;
    webBrowser.Height = body.scrollHeight;
}

hope this helps, regards
