[2005] URL changed via Textbox

[Deadly Asphyxiation]

Hello, I'm having a bit of trouble changing a web browser's URL. I have tried a simple piece of code:

WebBrowser1.Url = TextBox1.Text

Which looks like it should work.
It gives an error saying:

Value of type 'String' can not be converted to 'System.Uri'

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks in advance.

either one of these should work fine for navigating the browser to a given URL

        WebBrowser1.Url = New Uri(textbox1.Text)
        WebBrowser1.Navigate(textbox1.Text)

Yeah they work fine.
Thanks.

Erm ...

How about changing the URL to a string, so like, the Text Box would read the Web Browser's URL constantly?

Text Boxes can't read.

You use the Navigated event of the browser (which fires right when navigation has started) and you grab the URL of the browser there.

    Private Sub WebBrowser1_Navigated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserNavigatedEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.Navigated
        textbox1.Text = WebBrowser1.Url.ToString
    End Sub
