Web Browser Combo box Problem

[cigoL..:)]

Greetings,

i'm currently developing a web browser for my school project (i'm kinda new to advance visual basic)... it's 75% complete and the only problem i encountered is that when i enter items for the combo box it accepts duplicate .. for example i entered www.daniweb.com and re-entered it again, two www.daniweb.com will appear in the combo box's item and if i'll enter another url for example www.google.com it must be also added to combo box's item together with the www.daniweb.com and without any duplicates..how will i fix this? how can i remove the duplicate one?
here's the entire code of the system

Dim i As Integer
    Dim int As Integer = 0
  
    Private Sub Loading(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Windows.Forms.WebBrowserProgressChangedEventArgs)
        ToolStripProgressBar1.Maximum = e.MaximumProgress

        ToolStripLabel1.Text = CType(TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0), WebBrowser).Url.AbsoluteUri

        ComboBox1.Items.Add(CType(TabControl1.SelectedTab.Controls.Item(0), WebBrowser).Url.AbsoluteUri)

Thanks! best regards,

You can check if a string already exists before adding it with combobox.findstring. Find string will return the index of the first matching item. If -1 the item is not in the combox.

Dim Uri As String = "A Uri"
  If ComboBox1.FindStringExact(Uri) < 0 Then
     'Uri does not exist in the combobox
     ComboBox1.Items.Add(Uri)
  End If

And you should rename your loading and done subs to standard naming convention. With a name and _Underscore with TheEventName it represents. Will make your code easier for someone else to read.
