I'm trying to use the AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser control in a form and when I
call .Navigate, instead of showing the html page, the download prompt shows
up. If I click open, it uses my default browser instead of the control.

If I open an excel doc or a word doc on my local HD, it shows up in the
control after I click open.

Does anyone know what I should check, to get the control opening HTML pages
in itself instead of the default browser?

Try using code like this:

object zero=0;
object nl="";
axWebBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.yahoo.com",ref zero, ref nl, ref nl, ref
nl);

Thanks for the reply. I ended up getting it working by using this version of
AxSHDocVw:

http://www.icsharpcode.net/CodeReader/SharpDevelop/087b/Base/DisplayBindingsBrow
serDisplayBindingAxSHDocVw.cs.html

When I used the version created by doing this:

aximp %%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\SHDocVw.dll

I get the behaviour I mentioned earlier.

I'm not sure why :-/

Thanks again for trying to help.
