When I use the Web Browser control with VB.NET and navigated to a site it said 'outdated Web Browser'. When I use Internet Explorer the site loads fine. I thought the Web Browser control used the latest version of Internet Explorer installed on the machine? I really need this site to load with the Web Browser control so I can manipulate it and use API functions. Is there some advanced Web Browser control I can use that will work better?
By default webbrowser control uses IE 7 if the version of the IE in that machine is IE7 or above. Please check your site in IE7 browser.

I am fiddling with Blazor WebAssembly to make a PoC and try to convince some people to start using it to develop Intranet web apps. However, our standard browser for Intranet content is IE11. Since Blazor WebAssembly is not supported in IE11, it may as well be the best thing in the world but I believe we will not get off to a good start by saying "This does not run in IE11, so people must use Edge for this particular app".
In order to minimize this issue, I was wondering how to make some URLs open on Edge. I know this is possible because if I paste a Teams meeting URL onto IE11, the page is not rendered and a new Edge window opens up automatically instead. Does anyone have any idea how to accomplish this?
From your description, it seems that you want to open an Edge window from IE 11 browser and view the website, right?
In this scenario, I think you could try to use the URL Scheme: microsoft-edge:{website url}. Then, it could open the Edge browser from IE 11 browser.
Sample code as below:

[Note] If you are viewing the website on IOS , the URL scheme should like this: microsoft-edge-http:// or microsoft-edge-https://.
I put together a simple little program for my own personal use in VB2010 that uses an embedded webbrowser control, that allows me to click through pre-selected websites one at a time. It's something I have been using for years with no problem.
Apparently one of the websites which contains a number of pages that I view daily has switched to HTTPS format, and the webbrowser control just says The website cannot display the page. None of the other pages are secure, so I am assuming that this is what's causing the problem. The pages will come up fine on a regular web browser, like IE or Firefox; just not in my embedded web browser.
A Google search for this problem has turned up nothing.
The emulation mode is set to IE11 edge mode through the registry key, but I have also tried setting it for standard IE11, with no change.
What needs to be done to allow secure pages for this simple application?
Thanks!
You know there is a web browser control in visual basic controls.
When we are using Auth2 for get into Google Apps(Gdrive,GPlay...) it opens a webpage in OS default browser(Chrome , Fire fox...) to get permissions. How can I make it to request from a web browser control on the form without opening other browsers?
The Google .Net client library is designed to open the users default browser for authentication.
The client library does not have the functionality to give you the url you would need to open it in a web browser control.
Sorry this is not possible
I launch IE with the "nomerge" option while testing our web applications, when I need to login as two different users at the same time. I would like to know if the same option is available with the .NET web browser control? (or for that matter with other web browser controls such as geckofx or webkitsharp) I want to launch two web browser controls inside the same winforms test application and be able to login as two different users.
I have a facebook iframe app I'm trying to test using a WebBrowser Control on a form in VB.NET 2010. Whenever I try to access the WebBrowser.Document.Window.Frames frame object on a document where my app is showing in the broswer, I get an Access Denined exception. Reading around on the web, I see people saying that this is to keep scripts in a document from accessing content in iframes that are pulling content from another domain, as per 'http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms533028.aspx', for security reasons.
While I totally understand why this is done for the general public, how can I disable it on my machine so that I can run these tests? I can't properly test my app without doing it in the facebook iframe and using the WebBrowser control is the only way I know to do this test programmatically.
Any ideas? I'm on windows server 2003 and ie8, .net4.0, if that helps. I own the domain where the app is, and its in AS.NET MVC2, so if there's anything I can do to the web code to enable this??? I also removed the Internet Explorer ENhanced Security COnfiguaration component, but that didn't help.
Thanks,
Philip
Have you tried changing your Internet Explorer settings to enable cross domain scripting?
I believe the VB.Net Web Browser control inherits settings from the local copy of IE.
Try this:
From Internet Explorer, choose Internet Options from the Tools menu.
On the Security tab of the Internet Options dialog box, select the Local Intranet Web Content Zone and then click Custom Level.
Locate the Miscellaneous/Access Data Sources Across Domains setting, and then select Enable, as shown in Figure 2.
Click OK, and then click Yes to the warning dialog box that appears.
Click OK to close the Internet Options dialog box.
Also try adding the Facebook https Url into your trusted sites.
As a last resort disable Native XMLHttp in IE and attempt to revert back to an older version of the XMLHttp object.
