mshtml type mismatch for document.write

I have the following code (vb.net 2010 express):

Dim doc As mshtml.HTMLDocument
axWebBrowser1.Navigate("about:blank")
doc = CType(axWebBrowser1.Document, mshtml.HTMLDocument)
doc.close()
doc.open("about:blank")
Dim sHTML(0) As String
sHTML(0) = script(e.Node.Index).branch_text
doc.write(sHTML)
sHTML = Nothing
and I'm getting a type mismatch on the doc.write command. I also tried Dim sHTML() as Object = ...branch_text but the same results. The WebBrowser1 object is from the axSHDocVw.dll.

I can't seem to get the right combination of things to get this to work Please Help.

You're trying to write an array using a function that expects a string. Why did you create an array? Can you not use:

...

Dim sHTML As String
sHTML = script(e.Node.Index).branch_text
doc.write(sHTML)
...

Tried that first...got the mismatch error. doc.write is expecting a "ParamArray psarray() as Object", so I tried the array but still no luck.

Are you not using the Webbrowser control? You can do

webbrowser1.document.write("<html><body>New Document</body></html>")

Does it allow editing? The display is in an application to allow managers to edit scripts being displayed. The users are running an app that has a WebBrowser control to view the scripts, and a separate window containing the axWebBrowser control is used to allow editing...everything I found online indicated the WebBrowser control couldn't do this.

Additional info...the editor is supposed to be a WYSIWYG editor...

This is FANTASTIC! Thank you for pointing us in the right direction. Hopefully others searching for a HTML WYSIWYG Editor will be able to find this now.
This includes a stand-alone app and an API to implement...we're using the API and it works great!
