Showing a web page on winform vb.net
Hello experts, I am trying to show a webpage on a winform, basically I want the user to click a button, which will open up a new winform and show a web page on it. I will pass the url to the new form when the user clicks the button. How can this work? What type of control would I need to show the webpage, and what references would I need?
I am already doing a process.start('url here'), but I want the winform to contain the page, I dont want the default browser to open up displaying the page.

I did find a com object that works, I referenced this Adobe Acrobat 7.0 Browser control type library 1.0 and added it to my tool bar. This control does exactly what I need. But its not a .net object, I would have thought .net would have something.
