C# Newbie Question. Making button as a link, open in attached WebB

[Guest]

Hello all.

I am making a small silly little basic one page web form while learning C#
(Using VS 2005 Express). I am stuck on how to link a button I have created,
to actually send the user to a specified URL when clicked, into the attached
WebBrowser form.
I thought
WebBrowser.Navigate ("http://www.google.com");
should do the trick, under each button, but they still do nothing. What
n00bish thing am I missing here?

Attached is my code:

#region Using directives

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;

#endregion

namespace New
{
partial class frmMain : Form
{
public frmMain()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

private void btnPrint_ContextClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

private void progressBar1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

private void printDocument1_PrintPage(object sender,
System.Drawing.Printing.PrintPageEventArgs e)
{

}

private void frmMain_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

}

private void btnPrint_ContextClick_1(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser.Print();
}

private void btnXMFINFO_ContextClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser.Navigate ("http://www.google.com");
}
private void btnEXEC_ContextClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser.Navigate("http://www.google.com");
}
private void btnENGR_ContextClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser.Navigate("http://www.google.com");
}
private void btnMETAPURCH_ContextClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser.Navigate("http://www.google.com");
}
private void btnACCO_ContextClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser.Navigate("http://www.google.com");
}
private void btnHUMA_ContextClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser.Navigate("http://www.google.com");
}
private void btnSHIP_ContextClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser.Navigate("http://www.google.com");
}
private void btnPLAS_ContextClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser.Navigate("http://www.google.com");
}
private void btnSPEC_ContextClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
webBrowser.Navigate("http://www.google.com");
}

}
}



Notice I am using about 9 buttons I am wanting to attach to a different URL
(buttons named btnINFOMARK, etc.). I want these buttons to hold a URL, and
when clicked, open the corresponding URL in the WebBrowser component that is
on the same form.

Please help! =)


Thanks,

Chris

If the purpose of these buttons is simply to allow URL navigation, why not
just use the Hyperlink control? You can easily change the default appearance
to "button-like" by setting properties such as foreground, background colors
and border color and style.

Hello, and thank you for the reply.
These are special 'graphical" image buttons, that go along with the theme of
the form.
Is it not possible to make a button function as a link?

Thanks!
