Its not hard to create a web browser using .NET (with the help of winforms), but the problem is getting navigation to work correctly, i.e. allowing people to navigate the links and enter in form fields etc. The IE ActiveX control doesn't really cater for this, unless you use some hacks. Also, the IE ActiveX control has problems with zooming in to webpages, it zooms for some pages, but not for others (I think it depends on whether CSS or the font tags were used to define font size, and also how the font sizes are defined).I doubt the author of simplebrowser will help your cause though - he is now a developer for Meedio, and that plugin has been ported over to Meedio now. The source code remains closed. You can of course decompile simplebrowser using Reflector, but I don't think that's very ethical.Sam
