Hi,

I am using WebBrowser in my xaml.

HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"

VerticalAlignment="Stretch"

VerticalContentAlignment="Center"

HorizontalContentAlignment="Center"

IsScriptEnabled="True" />

and in the cs file I have coded as,

webView1.Navigate(new Uri(url));

This page is being loaded in my app.But there is a hyperlink in this webPage,which is not working.

How can I make the hyperlink to work from the webpage?

See in your first post. you asked "hyperlink in this webPage which is not working. how can i make the hyperlink to work?" post your questions clear please.

If you need to deal with the hyperlink inside the webview .try the below events according to your scope.
NavigationStarting
NavigationCompleted
ScriptNotify

eg:
XAML

C#
private void testControl_ScriptNotify(object sender, NotifyEventArgs e)
{
}
private void testControl_NavigationCompleted(WebView sender, WebViewNavigationCompletedEventArgs args)
{
}
private void testControl_NavigationStarting(WebView sender, WebViewNavigationStartingEventArgs args)
{
}

The URL is in the webpage that is displayed through webView1.Navigate(new Uri(url));
This page displays:-

Whats App :9999999999
Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/xyz

when the user would click on "https://www.facebook.com/xyz" hyperlink,then it should open a new webpage.
