View and edit HTML in a windows form

[matt]

I'm currently writing an e-mail application, and I need to know the best way
to view and edit HTML in my windows form application. When writing an
e-mail client in ASP .NET, there was a HTML component that allowed you to do
this, but I haven't seen anything for windows forms. Do any of you know
where I could find a windows control such as this? I want to mimic
functionality like outlook does.

Thanks in advance

The Microsoft (COM) Web Browser control is one possibility.

Mike,


Thanks for the response to this question. Do you have any information on
this control? Where should I go to find something like this, what should I
be looking for?

Telmo,

I don't really need a fully functioning web browser in my application, but
something that can parse html and edit html. A similar control that is used
in ASP.NET can be found here: http://www.longreat.com/ under the HTMLTextBox
section. I'd like to use something like that to compose my messages, and
also to read them.

Right-click the toolbox -> "Add/Remove Elements..." ->
