Problem with AxWebBrowser on an MDI Child

[Scott]

Hi All, I'm fairly new to VB.NET so I don't know if this is me or what, if I
drop a AxWebBrowser COM control on an MDI Child form, and run the program,
it appears to lock up as it's loading the form, take it off the form, and it
runs fine....I then put it back on, and Rem'ed out the line below from the
'windows designer generated code' region, and it works great!

CType(Me.AxWebBrowser1, System.ComponentModel.ISupportInitialize).EndInit( )

What does the above line do exactly, something to do with the COM/.NET
wrapper Ive read about?
It also runs fine if I drop the WebBrowser control on a regular form, rather
than an MDI child form.

While I'm here, is there a better alternative to using 'old' COM controls
such as the web browser?

TIA,

Scott
