IE and Vb.net vs. Vb 6

[neodammer]

I remember in vb 6.0 how easy it was to just drag a big IE box on the form and then with alittle code make it jump to a web page. How would one go about doing the same in vb.net ?

You have to add a WebBrowser control. It works pretty much the same way, drag and drop, set the URL (or NavigateUrl or something like that).

 

The control is not in the toolbox by default but you can add it by right clicking the toolbox and selecting "Customize...".

not odd. Thats what it's called :D

I BELIEVE axwebbrowser is the VB6 one, VB.NET can access a number of controls from VB6. Such as MsComm for one.

 

You would be better off finding the right (VB.NET) one, future versions wont support the old VB6 controls.

Current versions of VS do not have a replacement for the axwebbrowser component, future versions however will ship with a manageed version of the web browser control.

Go in Microsoft Visual Basic .Net to :

Tools > Costumize Toolbox > The COM Components Tab

scroll down to Microsoft Web Browser

select it and press ok

 

now its in your Toolbox and its the same as in vb 6.0 just drag and drop.

 

to go to a webpage do

 

AxWebBrowser1.Navigate("http://xtremedotnettalk.com")

Thats a COM component, not a .Net component. It won't be suported in the future and is slower while using more resources in .Net applications.

 

Of course when there isn't an alternative you use what you have until you can write a better version yourself or someone else does.
