Displaying web page results
I want to create a program in VB where you can look at the information on a web page. Like a program where it displays the current news articles on a website and u can read them. And when the news on the page changes, the news in the program changes because it is reading off the webpage. Maybe with servers? Display stuff from MySQL databases? I'm sure the web page has to be set up for this which is easy, but how do i get the program to display the information from a web page? I'm new to VB, but not new to programming. Any help would be appreciated.

I've never done this before, but adding a reference to "Microsoft HTML Controls" might be a good starting point?

Sure, but as I'm new to VB, maybe someone could expand on it. Or explain it.

well... VB Makes it pretty easy. All you have to do is go to Project/References on the menus and find the control/dll that you want, and then check it. That makes it accessible to use all properties/methods inside the class(es). Much easier than C++, but then again.. it is VB

Use the Web Browser control. It's pretty easy to use.

In your VB6 exe project, add the "Microsoft Internet Controls" component.

If you look in the msdn library at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library you can find the documentation on these controls.
