The following code example demonstrates how to navigate the xref:System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser control to a specific URL.

To determine when the new document is fully loaded, handle the xref:System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser.DocumentCompleted event. For a demonstration of this event, see How to: Print with a WebBrowser Control.

Me.webBrowser1.Navigate("https://www.microsoft.com")

this.webBrowser1.Navigate("https://www.microsoft.com");

This example requires:

• A xref:System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser control named webBrowser1.
