Launch default browser and post data to the web

I don't about the web browser control on a mac but you can use the System.Diagnostic.Process.Start call to load up a specific link in the default web browser.  If the target site uses a query string that is an easy way to load values at the start; here is an example that uses Google Maps to display an address (at the bottom you can see the link sent to both the web browser control as well as to the default browser):

  private void btnMapIt_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            try

            {

                string street = string.Empty;

                string city = string.Empty;

                string state = string.Empty;

                string zip = string.Empty;

 

                StringBuilder queryAddress = new StringBuilder();

                queryAddress.Append("http://maps.google.com/maps?q=");

 

                if (txtStreet.Text != string.Empty)

                {

                    street = txtStreet.Text.Replace(' ', '+');

                    queryAddress.Append(street + ',' + '+');

                }

 

                if (txtCity.Text != string.Empty)

                {

                    city = txtCity.Text.Replace(' ', '+');

                    queryAddress.Append(city + ',' + '+');

                }

 

                if (txtState.Text != string.Empty)

                {

                    state = txtState.Text.Replace(' ', '+');

                    queryAddress.Append(state + ',' + '+');

                }

 

                if (txtZipCode.Text != string.Empty)

                {

                    zip = txtZipCode.Text.ToString();

                    queryAddress.Append(zip);

                }

 

                // loaded into browser control

                webBrowser1.Navigate(queryAddress.ToString());

 

                // open the link into the default browser

                System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(queryAddress.ToString());

            }

            catch (Exception ex)

            {

                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message.ToString(), "Unable to Retrieve Map");

            }

 

        }
