I can't figure out how to display a local webpage. I've tried messing with the webBrowser control but it keeps adding "http://" to the front of the local webpage address, and if I try to change it from within the code like this:
The file wont be at \\webpage\blah.htm, its at c:\webpage\blah.html
the \\something notation usually means machine name, is your PC really called "webpage"?
ddanbe: I tried "webBrowser1.Navigate(webpage/Maphs v1.htm)", that gave me a 404.
LizR:
The HTML file is in a directory called "webpage", which is in the same directory as the program.
I wanted a local reference to the file, so that if I wanted to move the program's directory, it would work anyway. Evidently, that didn't happen.
Is there a way to make a local reference like that? Or should I just give up and hardcode the path in (which works)?

You got me thinking about the location, and with some googling, I solved it.
I used "Application.ExecutablePath" to give me the location of the executable as a string, then added "webpage/maphs v1.htm" to it and used that - the webpage now displays.
