webBrowser control

[KC]

Is the webBrowser control included in VB.net standard? I can't seem to find
it. Or do I have to create a certain type of solution?

You can use it after completing the steps described here:

Hey, thanks!

I got the control up and running, but it doesn't seem like you can actually
"do" anything with it. You know what I mean? At the end of the day all I
want to do is pull data off a page. The page I want (raw text data from a
switch which is in a .gz file) downloads to Internet Explorer, and the
webBrowser control, just fine, but I can't read the data once it's there -
well, actually I can, but I get garbage characters.

I figured once the data was in this control I could do some kind of 'view
source' in my code and get what I want.
