Opening an website

[szms]

I am using VB.NET and doing windows application.

I want to open an website (such as www.hotmail.com) by clicking a button. How to do that?

open the website in the default browser or within a window in the application?

That's a good question. Didn't think about that. I would like to try both ways : "open the website in the default browser and within a window in the application" :)

Private Sub Form_load()
yourlink = "www.google.com"
ShellExecute hwnd, "open", "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE", yourlink, vbNullString, 1
End Sub

something like this maybe. I used this sortof code in vb6... try it with vb.net. This uses ie though... I forgot what I did to make it use the default.
