So basically I am asking how to check if the URL of the webbrowser has changed (is diferrent from the previous one).
Thank you.

Answer 1

You can check ...
Sub webbrowser1_Complete(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.DocumentCompleted
//Webbrowser1.url property to get valu of url
End Sub

Ok from what I can understand from your question this is what I would do. First create a structurethis will allow you to store data that you may want to use again. Next create a Function in this case with a Boolean return that checks to see if WebBrowser1's current url is the same as the one we have stored within our structure.And once you have done that, I would create a new WebBrowser1 Event in this case WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted to trigger the Function to compare both the WebBrowser1 url textbox and the structures stored string when a web page as completely loaded.
Public Class Form1
Dim urlSettings As urlSetting
Structure urlSetting
Public url As String
End Structure
Private Function checkURL(url As String) As Boolean
Dim changed As Boolean = True
If Not urlSettings.url = url Then
changed = False
End If
Return changed
End Function
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
WebBrowser1.Navigate(New Uri(TextBox1.Text))
End Sub
Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(sender As Object, e As WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.DocumentCompleted
If Not checkURL(TextBox1.Text) Then
urlSettings.url = TextBox1.Text
MessageBox.Show("The URL has changed")
End If
End Sub
End Class
Of course you can modify so suit your needs, however this should get you on your way. :) MSDN Information Structure: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/4ft0z102.aspx WebBrowser Control : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.webbrowser(v=vs.110).aspx Return Statesments eg Function: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2e34641s.aspx
