Loading local data into a WebView with "loadHtmlString" or "loadRequest"?

I'm testing the WebView as a RichTextEditor. I've noticed there are 3 methods to load data into it, so I googled to find out which are the differences between them, but find no clear answer. Could someone please give me some insight about that?

Am I right supposing it's best to use loadHtmlString for local content and loadRequest for web content?

Thanks for your support!

There are three recipes in the MonoTouch docs (see bottom of page) that pretty clearly illustrate the three methods.

  • LoadData() - load non-HTML data, can specify MIME type
  • LoadRequest() - load content using async HTTP request
  • LoadHTMLData() - load an HTML string
