Re: "Driving" a browser conrtol programatically

Hi Yursil,

Thanks for the information. With your permission I have another small
question: When I use your technique of utilizing the "browser" component
onto a form, would the sites I navigate think I'm using IE 6.0? does the
"browser control" available under .NET utilize the Internet Explorer or is
it a totally different component?

Thanks
Ron
