Web Browser Control?

[nightshift]

Greetings,

I was wondering how i would get the same effect in VB.NET as the web browser control in VB6?

Essentially what i want to do is:

Have a "text box" (or web browser control) to display a html page that is located locally...

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Your stuck using the same old COM component as you did in VB6. They didn't include a .Net version yet. You can get it by right-clicking in your toolbox, and selecting Customize Toolbox...

On the COM tab, you will find it. Check the box next to it, and it will be added to your toolbox.

thanks for the info

However, i get this error when i add the web browser:

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ExecutionEngineException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

Any ideas?

Thanks

i can't seem to find the control. I had to browse to that dll but it didn't add anything to my toolbox. Is it supposed to? I was expecting some kind of interface to place IN the form and it displays the internet explorer. Is this not what it does?

you dont need to browse to it thephantom, if you right-click your toolbox , click customize, in the box that opens , scroll down the list till you see Microsoft Internet Control , thats what you need to get webbrowser for your forms.

hmm. I did that and all i found was a microsoft internet TRANSFER control. it simply places a button-like control on the forms. Not the same, huh? where at on microsoft's web-site can we all download the common and not-so-common controls?

if you use InternetExplorer , you must have the microsoft webbrowser control in the list here's a screenshot of where it usually is ....
