IE Controls in Compact Framework SP2 ?

[Stu]

Hey all, this seems like a goofy question to be asking, but I'm stumped and
googled out...

I need to display a web page in a captive format, with a fixed URL. The
PDAs in question are currently running some client-server software, which
has reciently been rewritten as an ASP page. Is there any way to display
the a web page in an application using the CF? I've seen it done more than
once in VB6 and I assume it can be done in VB.NET, but I'm kind of hitting a
wall when it comes to the PDAs. The end goal is to keep the user from
changing the page and removing access to any of the other programs on the
PDAs.

Thanks much!

Stu

You can using a HTML Viewer. There are a couple of solutions, a commercial
control:-

And a less fully featured but free implementation as part of the OpenNETCF
Smart Device Framework
