Question

How to open a website in Metro Apps, I cannot find a class  just like "webbroswer"

Answer 1

In XAML solution, we have two controls:

1. WebView class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.webview
2. WebViewBrush class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/windows.ui.xaml.controls.webviewbrush.aspx this one is for read-only web page

And in HTML/JS, we could use <IFrame src="..."  > to nested one Web Page.

Answer 2

thank you, Bob! But I think WebView cannot open a website by a default Browser,it's just a control! what i need is to open a new process of  the default Browser,and open the website.

Use Launcher class: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br241801.aspx

LaunchUriAsync(Uri) method: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh701480.aspx
