This is a very interesting topic. There are so many web browsers out there and using VB as said in previous posts is just making a customized internet explorer. It actually will not run if you do not have internet explorer installed on your machine. Now taking and making a browser from the firefox sources would be pretty sweet. However, firefox is still the number one browser and is definately a lot faster than IE.

When you install Visual Basic, it gives you the components it would take to run Internet Explorer, so technically you have it installed while you have visual basic.

Doesn't that mean the browser you make is running off the Internet explorer engine? I mean, Visual basic is made by Microsoft, so is internet explorer... which would mean that a component used to browse would be the exact same... weird. I wouldn't make a browser anyways

Hey You! It's not only in VB.Net! Even vb takes the setting from IE! Thats because the We Browser Tool we use is actually from the IE! If you wanted to make a actual new web browser it would take you years just to get the basic functions straight!
But hey why don't you take a look at some more advance vb internet explorers in some source code sites (like planetsourcecode.com) |

Note that I said it was a very simple tutorial Sarith. A lot of people need to start somewhere, you know?
I know how to make an advanced IE, thanks for the suggestion though. |
