2)
Time to add the controls!

Needed:
6 ToolStripButtons, 1 ToolStripLabel, and 1 ToolStripTextBox
Naming the buttons

Name the first button "Back"

Name the second button "forward"

Name the third "refresh"

Name the fourth "stop"

Name the fifth "home"

And finally name the last "GO".

The go button alignment property must be set to "right".

We can now set "DisplayStyle" to "Image".
Set the images you want for the buttons.

Now we must move on and label and the textbox on the toolstrip.

For the "Label" change the "text property" to

Code:
URL

and the name to urlLabel.

Now the textbox will be named url and the text leave empty.

3)

Next drag the WebBrowser Control onto the form.

Code:
webBrowser

4)

Now for the actual coding part.

Double-Click on the Form and enter this code:

Code:
webBrowser.GoHome().

Double-Click on the Back Button and enter this code:

Code:
webBrowser.GoBack().

Double-Click on the Forward Button and enter this code:

Code:
webBrowser.GoForward().

Double-Click on the Refresh Button and enter this code:

Code:
webBrowser.Refresh().

Double-Click on the Stop Button and enter this code:

Code:
webBrowser.Stop().

Double-Click on the Home Button and enter this code:

Code:
webBrowser.GoHome().

Double-Click on the GO Button and enter this code: webBrowser.Navigate(url.Text).[/code]
Double-Click on the webBrowser and enter this code:

Code:
url.Text = e.Url.ToString().

5) The end result

This is a very basic tutorial! Add more functions to your web browser such as tabs and history as you learn and become more advanced!

Looks great, props on the guide very simple and easy to follow and straight to the point.

The buttons for the back and forward look 10x better than Google Chromes.
