Using a variable in the web browser control

Question

I am developing a windows phone 7.1 application, which will search through different search engine after taking in the text from the textbox. I have textbox( searchBox ), four buttons for bing, google, facebook and yahoo and a web browser control. Now i need to pass the text from the textbox to the web browser. But the thing is it should be of the form "www.bing.com?q= textbox.text ". how can i implement this?

Answer 1

You can adjust WebBrowser.Url property

Or you can use Navigate method

  var address = "www.bing.com?q=" + textbox.Text;
  webBrowser1.Navigate(new Uri(address));
