Prevent from displaying of Windows Security window
You need to provide an implementation of IAuthenticate COM interface to the WebBrowser
object via IServiceProvider. Your implementation of IAuthenticate::Authenticate
will be called when WebBrowser
is dealing with a resource requiring Basic or Windows authentication, giving you a chance to supply the proper user name and password.
Below is a complete example of how to do this through WebBrowser
's IProfferService.

_navigationTask = DoNavigationAsync(_navigationCts.Token);
};
}

this.webBrowser = new WebBrowser();
this.webBrowser.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
this.Controls.Add(this.webBrowser);
this.webBrowser.Visible = true;

serviceProvider.QueryService(out _profferService);
