maybe try to create another form, call the form and pass a parameter to a friend variable on the form such that it is the address that you want to open in the new window.

e.g.

Public Class Form2
    Friend strWebURL As String
    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        If strWebURL <> "" Then
            WebBrowser1.Navigate(strWebURL)
        End If
    End Sub
End Class

and your calling form something like this:

Public Class Form1
       Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim frm As New Form2
        frm.strWebURL = "asdf"
        frm.Show()
    End Sub
End Class

I don't have many examples up on my new site, but this is actually one of them.

kleinma, your link does not work...
Server error...

I am looking for the answer to this, but the ones I find don't work.

Yes I know, my site is currently offline for a restructure. I plan on having it back up in a few days.

I have the code at work though, so I can post it here tomorrow.

I found my answer was to add the Microsoft Web Browser component so I had access to NewWindow2 event (ieframe.dll), instead of using the one that came with .NET

yes you can do that, however it does require a few extra hoops to jump through.

You need to distribute a few extra files (the Ax interop ones that get generated). You also need to run those files through a command line utility to strong name them if you plan on strong name signing your app.
