VB 2005 (In Visual Studio 2005) WebBrowser Control - Question

Hello

Ive made a application which features a embedded WebBrowser Control in the form. In the properties box where it states url i dont wish to add a website url as my application runs within the program files directory. Now if i point the link to a html file located in the prog files directory it works fine without any trouble.

Id like to know if there is a way to just add the link in the properties box as "start.html" is this possible or do i have to keep using that horrible long link to the program file.

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thankyou

Anthony.

Hi Anthony,

I believe you should not use an absolute path in the Url property of the web browser control since this path may change depending on where your program is installed.

You can set the Url in your form's load event, for example

Private Sub Form1_Load( _
ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) _
Handles MyBase.Load

Me.WebBrowser1.Url = New System.Uri( _
System.IO.Path.Combine(System.Environment.CurrentDirectory, "start.html"), _
System.UriKind.Absolute)

End Sub
