hey, i just wanted to know like how secure is the webbrowser control in the .net framework(im using the newest one) but how secure is it? can i build a trustworthy browser with a few lines of code just using the webbrowser control, like compared to Internet Explorer 7 and Mozilla Firefox, is the webbrowser control almost as secure ? basically i just want to build a browser, but i do want it to be secure as most leading browsers, is it secure enough to continue?

As far as I know, WebBrowser is Internet Explorer. It doesn't have all the control buttons, but it's the same thing under the hood. Pretty pointless to re-invent the wheel.

what do u mean pointless to "re-invent the wheel" i just want to know because i was thinking of doing a simple browser that tracks internet activity, for personal use, and relatives that find it useful.

I guess I misunderstood what you wanted to do. But it is as secure as internet explorer, because it is internet explorer.
Security and browsers should thought of as two separate things. While browsers have some secure features they are no good if you give everyone admin privileges, for eg.
