Clear WebBrowser history.

Is there any way to programmaticall y purge the forward/back history of a .NET
2.0 embedded WebBrowser control?

A WebBrowser control is just an embedded IE window and any/all settings in IE
are honored just the same including history.

If what you want to do is disable the back button then try the following
script in the head section of your pages

<script language="JavaS cript">
<!--
javascript:wind ow.history.forw ard(1);
//-->
</script>

the above gets the job done more or less but its far from a perfect
solution. As far as i know you cannot disable the back button in IE but there
are ways to tricking it to act differently as by the script above.

How can I clear the current session cache of previously visited webpages? That is, say I start up my app (with browser component), point to www.cnn.com, click on several links, then I want to programmatically clear the current session cache so if the user hits the back button, their current page is now, in reality, the start node and there is nothing to traverse to.
