Sending IE URL to C# EXE

[Takuya Matsumoto]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to develop a custom button on IE toolbar that sends the current
URL of the IE when pressed.
Thanks to the help from the experts in the news group, I've already managed
to add a button, but not sure how I can make that button detect the URL and
send it to the EXE I wrote in C#.

Thanks for your help.

Konnichiwa Takuya,

One method is to use a URL Protocol.

Here are two threads from the languages.vb group. Somewhere in each thread
are a couple of posts that should tell you a fair bit about what URL Protocols
are and how to use them

I'd recommend reading them in this order.

Hi Fergus,

Thanks very much for your help!
I went through your messages and on the web quite extensively.
After all the options I went through, in the end, I chose the toolbar option
as detailed on teh codeproject site:

I am new to .NET programming and every step is an effort, but onwards and
upwards.

Thanks again!
