Cannot access local KML file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Try loading a file from the local machine rather than from a URL

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Local KML file should load, it doesn't.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest source, Vista

Please provide any additional information below.
I know this may not really be a bug, but for any practical use, a WinForms 
control really needs access to local files. Do you have a way of allowing 
the webBrowser control to access local KML files? Great control otherwise 
though - good work  :-)

Hey, nevermind; I just worked out what I can do (below). However, I think it 
would 
be great if you had another method (FetchKmlLocal) that would read it into a 
tsream 
like I am doing below. I think it would make a lot of people happy  :-)
Again, keep up the good work!!!

geWebBrowser.FetchKml(C:\\test.kml);
FileStream stream = File.Open(textBox1.Text, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(stream);
IKmlObject kml = ge.parseKml(sr.ReadToEnd());
ge.getFeatures().appendChild(kml);
sr.Close();
stream.Close();

Thanks for this, I will add it in the next commit. Just to note I have amended 
the 
function like so...

{{{
public void FetchKmlLocal(string path)
{
    if (File.Exists(path) && path.EndsWith("kml", true, 
System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture))
    {
        try
        {
            FileStream stream = File.Open(path, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
            StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(stream);
            IKmlObject kml = geplugin.parseKml(reader.ReadToEnd());
            external.LoadKmlCallBack(kml as IKmlFeature);
        }
        catch (FileNotFoundException fnfex)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine(fnfex.ToString());
            throw;
        }
        catch (UnauthorizedAccessException uaex)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine(uaex.ToString());
            throw;
        }
        catch (COMException cex)
        {
            Debug.WriteLine(cex.ToString());
            throw;
        }
    }
}
}}}

That's excellent! One thing I just noticed to be an issue as well though is 
that my 
KML file specifies some icons to use on my machine and those don't show up for 
the 
same reason I guess - webBorwser not allowed access LOL. Arrghh. I will let you 
know 
if I find a solution, but it doesn't look like an easy one. Maybe you have some 
ideas?
