How to reset webbrowser

Question

I have a program that uses a webbrowser how do I get it to clear previous info. It stores everything. If it navigates to a page, it stores previous info, if I use refresh  option still don't clear. Now if I completely close the application then reopen it clears info. Is there away to do it without having to close out of the program? Would I have to use the dispose code every time, if so then how do I reactivate it?

Answer 1

Hi,

WebBrowser1.Navigate("about:blank")

The webbrowser control is simply a reuse of the by you used Internet Explorer version and acts completely like that. 

To instance a complete new webbrowser is

YourWebbrowser = new WebBrowser

Don't think installing a new webbrowser, does that not cost time, no it don't instancing is just setting a new object and give the Garbage collector the time as the processing is low to release the old object. That is where OOP is build around.
