WebBrowser Control doesn't work

[tmontney]

My application relies on the WebBrowser control. I ran into some issues first running the application. Once I commented out anything pertaining to the WB control, it could startup. I decided to create a simple application that navigated to a couple webpages, upon clicking a button. It could not navigate.

Here's how simple the code is...

Code: Select all

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://storage.axihub.ca/files/userfiles/FoldingAtHome/new_psummary.html")
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        WebBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.nirsoft.net/show_my_ip_address.php")
    End Sub
End Class

The second button didn't do anything. The first button generated an error. The file is attached.

Edit: I did try something more mainstream, navigating to google. Worked fine. However, doing a few searches it eventually crashed. It doesn't seem too stable.

According to the backtrace, your Wine version is 1.6.2, which is two years old. Start by upgrading to the latest development release; you will also have to upgrade wine-mono and wine-gecko.

Wait, seriously? I thought I was up-to-date... Ok.

I ended up removing the WB control. Turns out part of the issue was the website I was parsing went down. They changed to JSON formatting. I didn't notice because I hadn't actually tried my application in a week (on Windows). Updated as you suggested, went to WebClient to grab web files, and everything works great. Thanks!
