WebBrowser Security

I've tried looking this up on google, and didn't find anything, or missed it, but I was wondering what the security was like for the WebBrowser Class. Does it inherit the security settings for IE, or do I need to figure out how to add some in myself?


On the same note, in this web browser I am making, I decided I would store the History in a Settings file. Now, I made a field as a System.Collection.Specialized.StringCollection, but when I go to add a string to the collection, it doesn't work. I stepped through the code, and what seems to be happening is it hits the
Settings.Default.History.Add(stringvariablehere), then skips all code below that, no matter what it is. Thanks for help :)

Do you have a blank exception handler surrounding that call to Add()?

Do you mean a Try/Catch? If so, then no, I don't, here's what I have.


Private Sub WebBrowser_Navigated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserNavigatedEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser.Navigated
Dim newAddress As String
If Me.WebBrowser.Url.IsFile Then
newAddress = Me.WebBrowser.Url.LocalPath
Else
newAddress = Me.WebBrowser.Url.ToString
End If

Me.txtAddress.Text = newAddress
currentURL = newAddress
Me.txtStatus.Text = "Done."

Settings.Default.History.Add(currentURL)
Settings.Default.Save()
End Sub


No matter what I put after the Settings.Default.History.Add(currentURL) it doesn't hit any of it, but it doesn't throw any exceptions.

"Doesn't hit any of it"? Does the program hang on that statement or just skip to End Sub?

It just skips to the End Sub.

I still think this has something to do with an exception, but I could be completely wrong.

Well, there are other routes to the same end if I can't figure it out. But, back to my first question, does anybody know anything about if the WebBrowser Control inherits whatever security settings IE currently has, or how does that work?
