This newsgroup is for users of Visual Basic version 6.0

and earlier and not the misleadingly named VB.Net

or VB 200x. Solutions, and often even the questions,

for one platform will be meaningless in the other.

When VB.Net was released Microsoft created new newsgroups

devoted to the new platform so that neither group of

developers need wade through the clutter of unrelated

topics. Look for newsgroups with the words "dotnet" or

"vsnet" in their name. For the msnews.microsoft.com news

server try these:



microsoft.public.dotnet.general

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb

You can use the same API function call but it isn't really necessary in .NET:



http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;Q320320" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">support.microsoft.com/default.aspx&



Just use the HTML file path instead of the URL in the example.
