As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load  
    LinkLabel1.Text = "Click here to get more info."  
    LinkLabel1.Links.Add(6, 4, "www.microsoft.com")  
End Sub  
Private Sub LinkLabel1_LinkClicked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal _  
e As System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs) Handles _  
LinkLabel1.LinkClicked  
    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(e.Link.LinkData.ToString())  
End Sub
