Getting What You Need

Next, go to the toolbox and get one textbox, 5 buttons, and one webBrowser.

Naming the Buttons

Now you need to layout everything the way you want it. Now name your buttons: back, forward, go, refresh, and home.

Programming Everything

This is my favorite part. Programming!! For each of the things we program you need to double click them to show the script.

For the back button, in the blank space type in WebBrowser1.GoBack() now close the script window

For the forward button, in the blank space type in WebBrowser1.GoForward() now close the script window

For the Go button, in the blank space type in WebBrowser1.Navigate(TextBox1.Text) now close the script window

For the Home Button, in the blank space type in WebBrowser1.GoHome() now close the script window

For the refresh button, type in WebBrowser1.Refresh() now close the script window

Now that we've programmed everything, it will work!!

Debug It!

Now press F5, or go to bar on top with file, edit, view... Click the debug tab, then click start debuging. Now your browser will open up! When you click the home button, it should take you to your home page of your default web browser.

Finishing
