How to change default COM object name Microsoft Web Browser

Question

I am using the Microsoft Web Browser COM in a winform, but it's Name property is grayed out and I can not change it. The default name is axWebBrowser1 and to be honest it doesn't looks like a good name! Any idea how to change this name?

If you look in your Designer.cs File you will see:

 private AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser axWebBrowser1;

You can change the name to what you want, I would make sure you use the rename option so that all references are changed.

private AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser WebBrowser;
