Hi.

Is there any other ways of displaying a webpage in an VB.Net form other then
using the "Microsoft Web Browser" object? Any third-party?

I remember there was a similar ActiveX control for Mozilla, but it was
very buggy when I tried to use it in VB6.
 
Hi Johan,

In addition to Herfried, do not forget that the webbrowser is reusing
Internet Explorer.

It seems that there is planned a completly new one for Net 2.0

All I know about this.

I think the "new one" will still base on IE (I don't see any reason why
it should not do that).

Because it needs IE to be installed. ;-)
 
Any idea when DotNet 2.0 will be avalible?

I guess that I have to use the current method untill then, even if it, in my
oppinion dosen't.

The problem i'm having is when you have two seperate web browser objects in
the same from, and try to display the same ASP page in both objects, but
with different query strings, you end up with the same result in both.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Hi Johan,

I did see it, however I had no answer, the page hold in the browser is an
reflection from the internet explorer cache.

Does this work in two internet explorer windows?

Yes it does, and that's strange. I placed the onbjects in seperate forms and
tryed to run them as seperate threads to, with the same result (based on the
assumption that I got the threading part right. First time...)

I solved it, temporary by creating two seperate application that uses half
the screen each. In the computer running the application I have two graphic
cards/screens, and on one of the screens I have two applications charing the
space and on the second screen I have a fullscreen application. So I have
three seperate applications running on the same computer. All of the windows
display the same page, but with different query strings and every now and
then I get the same problem here. The same information on all three
browsers. I have tryed with different webpages, with the same result.

Hi Johan,

I did this test, you can try it also, I made a form with two webbrowsers on
it, because I know I can search in this page I took this as the start.
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.AxWebBrowser1.Navigate2("http:\\msdn.microsoft.com")
Me.AxWebBrowser2.Navigate2("http:\\msdn.microsoft.com")
End Sub

I could seach in both pagina's while there where 2 different pages in each
webbrowser window.

I hope this helps somehow?
