I am learning Visual Basic 2005, coming from VB6. I have seen programs that look like webpages on a windows form. I have been trying to learn how to do this, but haven't figured out how. I thought that they were just a browser control on a form, and the pages were on the local machine (because the application doesn't access the internet), but I haven't figured out how that would be possible because I thought IIS would be needed to parse the .aspx pages.

Can anyone give me some information about this method of making applications? Does it have a special name? Is there a tutorial or something that I can learn how to make a program using this method? I would really like to learn this because it would be great to have the flexible interface of a web form, with the benefits of a windows application.

Thank you for your help.
