    [VB.net] ADVANCED web browser

    Yeah I know, another web browser :X
    TBH, I was somewhat hesitant of releasing it, for getting flamed. But at least it's not some "5 minute rip-offs advertising my own site" xD

    Took me around 5 hours today to build and debug this thing xD.
    Biggest visual basic project I've ever made xD.
    Includes:
    Home page
    History
    google, yahoo, and wikipedia search
    media player
    fully working tabs
    status bar
    and more

    Feel free to learn from it, heck, you can even leach a part of code without credits, but please don't just rename it and call it your own xD.

    P.S. Don't bother to post if all you're going to say is something along the lines of "OMG n00b visual basic is stupid use c++ this is just IE repacked, no one would use this omg use firefox!"
    WE KNOW!
    Visual Basic IS a programming language.
    It isn't as flexible or as compatible as c++, c, java, or any of that, but it's easier and nice, and is easy to debug.
    I made this for fun, I was bored, and I wanted to help teach people.


    P.P.S. This isn't perfectly up-to date, or bug friendly. It's not meant for using as a web browser. It's used to help people learn about programming

    P.P.P.S. If you are planning on just releasing some rip off of this browser, or just some random browser that is worse then this one, then you aren't doing anything for anyone.

    Lol, not bad, but you should seriously consider to use Webkit instead of the IE engine ;)

    C++ suck when it comes to RAD. So it's totally OK. :) (imo)

    The media player is just a windows media control. Simple, yet affective.

    0_o This is an OLD topic of mine. Jeez, I posted one more vb project after this, then I went to c++, did a few there, and now I'm in the midst of PHP. And you could just google it...

    Re: [VB.net] ADVANCED web browser

    This revived thread has inspired me to start developing my own browser, using WebKit of course :)
    And in C#.

    Edit
    -
    Writing in C#, building IE Browser prototype first, then attempting WebKit Engine. Already written half of my constructors!
