Web browser or internet explorer object in web forms

Question

Below there is a link to an article that describes how to create an instance of an internet explorer in VB .NET, is there a way to do it in web forms. I want to be able to program (write code in events like ontoolbar, or use methods like navigate) the new browser I created. Thanks. http://www.vbdotnetheaven.com/Code/Aug2003/2144.asp

Theoretically speaking if you use this code on a web form the browser instance would be created on the server - which is not what you want to do. You can consider using links and/or client side script to open new browser window on the client and use client-side script for any event handling. However you cannot control or limit the browser setup on the client - you would need to add generalized client script - which means less flexibility in coding. If you have a controlled user group with standardized browsers you can try something that's more closely tied to the expected browser type and it's object model - dip
