Answer 1

Hi @raymond lavoie ,

The WebBrowser control is based on the Internet Explorer (IE) browser engine, which is not available in .NET. .NET is Microsoft's cross-platform development framework and does not include the WebBrowser control. So if your WinForms project uses .NET, you won't be able to use the WebBrowser control.

Consider Bringing a modern WebView to your .NET WinForms and WPF Apps.

Best Regards.

In Visual Studio 2022 you can use the WebView2 browser according to tutorial:

• https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2/get-started/winforms

Probably it will work for Visual Basic too.

Answer 3

Right-click on the project and select "Manage NuGet Packages."

1. Search for "Microsoft.Toolkit.Win32.UI.Controls.WinForms" and update it.
2. Rebuild the project for the changes to take effect.
