I started making programs in Visual BASIC. One of the first few tutorials I did was how to make a web browser. The web browser in the video is super easy to make and the program works but it isn't very useful.

I figured out how to make a the Go, Back, Search, Refresh, Stop, Home buttons but I have some problems.

I want to be able to punch in the enter key to either search or to navigate the browser to a specified URL But I'm not sure how to code the inkeys or the if then statements that will make it work.

I also though it would be cool if it had a button that would refresh your IP address. I wrote this once in a batch file but I'm not sure how to code it into Visual BASIC window form application.

Also wanted to put a button on there that would navigate to random website based on an array. I'll use websites from an online database once I get more php MySQL type stuff under my belt. But I'm not sure how to code it.

And like I said before I found a lot of tutorials about this stuff but I couldn't find any that incorporated any advanced functionality. In fact I couldn't find any that were more than about 8 steps.

Visual Basic or Vb.NET??

VB 2010 express more precisely.

vb.net then.

And you will need to read this for connecting to MySQL from VB Express

Thanks man. Always helpful.
