That doesn't really surprise me. The control throws several first-time
exceptions when it is loaded, and these take a moment to get over (in
particular the first one thrown). There doesn't really seem to be any way
around this, except to go to VS2005, which has a proper managed wrapper for
the WebBrowser control, and seems to load more quickly.

Re: Forms with AxWebBrowser takes time to load

Thanx very much Charles.

I will try to convince my ProLeader to get a copy of VS2005 [hope you
are not saying this just to market MS new products :)]

But does that means i will need latest version of .NET Framework as
well? I have got v1.1 at the moment.

Regards

Not a bit of it. And I should add that although the control in VS2005 has a
proper managed wrapper, it is still the same mshtml and shdocvw underneath,
for better or worse. That means that if you want to do anything clever with
it - show grid, snap-to-grid, squiggly underlining, table column selection -
you will still have to get down-and-dirty with the mshtml interfaces, and
grapple with the lack of detailed documentation on their use and
implementation.

Yes, but it will sit side-by-side with V1.1 if you still need to support
that (and the framework, of course, is free).
