The bool offline is just a state indicator and does nothing to affect wininet behavior. What you need to do is set the offline/online globaly thru wininet. The below link has a sample api to do just that thru setoptions:<br />

Whereas I think I now understand that Offline property is used to render a boolean value indicating whether or not the browser is online or offline, I don't know how the link you provided would help me to achieve what I want to achieve, pradapkumar.<br />
<br />
Here's the problem: Everytime my browser control goes to a web page, it re-downloads everything, instead of reading it from cache first; hence draining bandwidth from my web server.<br />
<br />
Here's what I want to achieve: If the page is in cache, grab it and all it's associated files from there first.

Major problem for me: Everytime I change the Offline property on the browser control to True, it goes back to False. I need the offline property to remain True, because I need the browser to read from cache first.<br />
<br />
My application is consuming a great deal of bandwidth, because it's not reading from the cache. I need expert help here!<br />
<br />
Many kind thanks in advance,<br />

Expert Help needed for browser control

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
