Hi guys. I have a problem with a web browser I'm creating . Everytime I use

WebBrowser1.Navigate("www.google.com"), it doesn't load. It opens the same webpage you get when you try to navigate to a page and you're not connected to the internet.

Also, I opened a webpage that was saved on my computer, and that webpage had a link to a website on the internet, and when I clicked on it, it worked just fine! It's not my internet, what is it then?

Here's the snippet of my code:

Private Sub bgo_Click_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles bgo.Click
		WebBrowser1.Navigate(TextBox1.Text())
		Me.Text = "Godzilla WaterFox - " + WebBrowser1.DocumentTitle()
	End Sub

Help me please.

try changing

 WebBrowser1.Navigate(TextBox1.Text())

to

 WebBrowser1.Navigate(TextBox1.Text)

taken out the () off the end of the textbox1.text

should be no problems like that

TADS is correct.

However, I'll explain.

When you have the ( ), it means you're trying to call a function called Text. And what you want is the Text property, which is not the same as a function.

Text -- property
Text() -- function

Doesn't work. I have tried that before, that snippet was just when I was trying everything to get it working

Any other ideas?

Is AllowNavigation set to false?

Yes, it does work, but the WebBrowser control can sometimes be a dodgy one as it's loaded as an ActiveX control. Calls too early will result in an error, calls when it's still loading will do nothing, etc. etc.

However as I suggested it may just be something simple in that a property was set invalid thus not allowing it to navigate

Ok, I've checked out the code. The form is fine. AllowNavigation is set to True.

I'm checking right now to see if it's IE settings.

This is so annoying Why can't it work normally? *cries*

It could be your DNS so try putting this in Run ipconfig /flushdns.

Ok, I finally found it.. Sorry for wasting your time

Turns out I'm a silly willy. I had LAN Settings on proxy (I use this computer for school as well) when I was at home. So for all beginners out there just like me, don't do the same mistake as me

Again, sorry for wasting your valueable time. You've all been very helpful
