System.Windows.Browser in Windows Phone

Question

I'm trying to open a webpage in a Silverlight App for Windows Phone 7.

Is there a way to open Internet Explorer?

Answer 1

You'll need to use the WebBrowser Task to open a WebPage in Internet Explorer.
Add the following using statement:

using Microsoft.Phone.Tasks;

Then you can use the Task in a function such as below:

WebBrowserTask task = new WebBrowserTask();
task.URL = "http://www.stackoverflow.com";
task.Show();

Hope this helps!
