how to host browser control on a .NET control

[Boni]

Dear all,
I would like to host a web browser on a particular user control (or window
form) in my application. Is it technically possible? Any link please? Is it
legal ?
Thanks a lot,
Boni

..NET 1.0/1.1:

WebOCHostVB.exe Hosts the WebBrowser Control in Visual Basic .NET
<URL:http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;EN-US;311303>

..NET 2.0 comes with a built-in webbrowser control.

Is that compatible to .NET 2.0? Can I be sure that it will work on all
upcomming versions?

No, this is not code-compatible to .NET 2.0's webbrowser control. However,
you can continue to use the webbrowser control by p/invoke in .NET 2.0.

There is a good example from microsoft for doing this in the knowledgebase
article 311284 - "How to handle document events in VB.Net"
I have just managed to get this code working successfully!
