How can I make my link label open a webpage when I click
it ?

You need to write the code to do that.

Something like this will normally work fine:

Private Sub LinkLabel1_LinkClicked(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs) Handles
LinkLabel1.LinkClicked

Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.Process

Dim s As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo("http://" &
LinkLabel1.Text)

s.UseShellExecute = True

s.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Normal

p.StartInfo = s

p.Start()

End Sub

If you need to ensure that it is IE that loads (the above will load the
default browser), then you query the registry for the app path for
iexplore.exe and open the process as iexplore.exe and the arguments set to
the web site you want.
