If that's so, the guy who wrote the article doesn't know what he's writing about when he writes that :

<quote>
"This article discusses how to use the *WebBrowser ActiveX control*
in Microsoft Visual Basic .NET to post form data."
</quote>

How is the *WebBrowser ActiveX control*, which the article describes,
different from the "webbrowser activex control" which you are referring to ?

What does what you refer to as a "webbrowser activex control" do,
which the *WebBrowser ActiveX control* described in the article doesn't do, in your judgment ?

I think the main question here would be "why do you want to host a webbrowser
control in a web page?".
In other words, what is the goal?

To show and extreme version of the ability of activeX controls to be hosted
in different environments. What's more extreme than hosting a control
inside another instance of itself to show the flexibility and usability of
activex controls?

Doing so on a webpage simply drives home the fact that you are viewing a
control via in instance of that same control.

At least that's what I'm being told.....

Please take note of the portion "to post form data". This is a use of the
activex control (I was wrong in stating that it was not), but it is not in a
webpage. The author explicitly states that the control is used on a windows
form under the "Create the Visual Basic .Net Sample Project" heading.

I made a mistake and was thinking of another article to which I was also
replying at the time. The link that you gave does show the use of the
webbrowser activex control (not the pitiful webbrowser control built into
the .Net toolbox that I referred to).

However, the web is littered with examples of using the webbrowser control
(both activex and .Net versions) in windows forms. What I need to do is to
use it in a webpage to fulfill the requirements for this project.

You did not answer Peter's question :

What do you want the webbrowser control to do ?
Why would you host a webbrowser inside a web browser ?

If you want to display info...you can use an Iframe.
If you want to scrape info from another server, you can use the WebClient class.

Specifically, why do you want to embed a webbrowser control into a web browser ?

re:

I'll refer you to my just-sent reply. You need to be more specific.

Exactly, *what* do you want to achieve with a webbrowser control,
that can't be achieved using an Iframe or the webClient .Net class ?

Tools have specific uses.
Using a hammer as a screwdriver isn't likely to be better than using a screwdriver.
