How to open browser window from vb.net on windows phone 7?

Question

It's very simple question, but I couldn't find a solution for it. My application on VB.NET for Windows Phone 7 need to open some web links when user clicks the buttons.

Button clicked -> Internet Explorer application with link opens.

But how to make it? :)

Answer 1

1) Add the following statement to your code.

Imports Microsoft.Phone.Tasks

2) Add the following code to your application wherever you need it, such as in a button click event.

Dim webBrowserTask as WebBrowserTask = new WebBrowserTask()
webBrowserTask.Uri = new Uri("http://www.google.com", UriKind.Absolute)
webBrowserTask.Show()
