I have tried to make my own web browser for my Windows Mobile 6 and have not had success with it. I have placed a combo box named cmbaddress, a WebBrowser control named WebBrowser1 and a picture box named pbgo (the go button).

inside the go button I have written the following code:

WebBrowser1.Navigate(cmbaddress.text)

but this gives me an error saying that cmbaddress.text cannot be converted to System.Uri

I have also tried:

Dim address As New Uri(cmbaddress.Text)
WebBrowser1.Navigate(address)

but i got:
UriFormatException was unhandled
An error message is available for this exception but cannot be displayed because these messages are optional and are not currently installed on this device. Please install ‘NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab’ for Windows Mobile 5.0 and above or ‘NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab’ for other platforms. Restart the application to see the message.

Any help would be really appreciated.
