Visual Studio .vb open web site/page/file

kingo

Hi all,

Very new to tinkering with Visual studio. I am trying the 2010 beta to see If I am able to fumble through a simple application.
I am wanting to do this, however have tried many ways and failed.
1./ from a button - on click, open a webpage.
2./ from a dropdown list - on click, open a webpage
3./ same as above but for a network/local file .pdf/.xls.whatever.

This is the start of the code
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
however anything I try turns to crap.

Appreciate your kind assistance.

don't know if vb 2010 is significantly different from vb2008 but try the following from within your click event:
First you need a combo box named: "cmbNavigate" and a button named: "btnGO"
Private Sub btnGo_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btnGo.Click WebBrowser1.Navigate(cmbAddress.Text) End Sub
