After upgrading to IE7, my projects that housed a webbrowser COM control stopped firing events for the browser (like documentcomplete, beforenavigate, etc...)

I am not talking about the 2005 windows forms webbrowser control. Strictly the COM one (for anyone using VS 2002/2003, or prefers the COM control over the .NET 2.0 one)

So anyway, I read that reinstalling IE7 over top of itself works (read it on some blog) but that didn't change anything.

Finally I tried deleting the interop dlls that had been created originally in my BIN and OBJ folders. (actually just deleted the entire obj folder)

Then I opened my sln again, did a rebuild, and all was working again.

It does not affect NEW apps you make with the browser control (presumably because it creates new interop dlls off of IE7s files) only existing ones that already contain the control.

Just wanted to post this because its bound to come up for someone else.
