Setting/Retrieving URL from IE in VB.Net

Hello,
      I have been learning VB in college and as an assignment we have been requested to create a useful program for use in the college. So, I thought a web site blocker would come in handy. So, all I need is a way to retrieve the url from the address bar in IE.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Since we, as experts, are not allowed to do homework, but are allowed to provide assistance, I would suggest finding the IE window through Windows API, and then enumerate child windows.  A program like Spy++ can be a useful tool for this.

Well, its not exactly home work. Its an exercise so we get to grips with VB.

So, ill look into the Windows API and any other suggestions are welcome.

Thanks bob!
