Hello! I am trying the EO.WebBrowser as a COM object, and I use it in VB6. I have created a VB.NET usercontrol and set its property to "Register as COM". I am showing the webbrowser within this usercontrol. Everything works perfectly, I navigate to www.google.com without any problem, but as soon as I load a certain URL (http://www.bild.de), both the COM component and the calling application hangs (no time-out). Often it only happens randomly, meaning that it only hangs when I load the URL for second time. Is there anything I can do to debug the situation, or should I switch to .NET right now because nothing else will work? Thank you for the help.

Hi, You should definitely switch to .NET if you can. EO.WebBrowser is built with .NET so obviously it will almost certainly works better in a native .NET environment. Another reason is obviously any support for VB6 has ended a long time ago --- this is an almost 20 years old product and MS has ended mainstream support on it over a decade ago. Having that said, the hanging can be an issue that is unrelated to COM. Please check your DLL version and see if you already have the latest build first. We did fix some issues that can cause hanging in the past. If you already have the latest build, please try to create a pure .NET application and try to reproduce the problem in that application. If you can reproduce the problem, please send the test app to us and we will investigate further. See here for more information on how to submit test application: http://www.essentialobjects.com/forum/test_project.aspxThanks!

I am using the latest build.
Yes, I have been able to reproduce the hanging / freeze in a clean .NET application using VS2015 RC.
The problem occurs both in x64 and x86.
I have sent an example project to you in a private mail.
Thank you.

Great. We have received your test project. We will look into it and get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks!

I have abandoned the idea of using EO.Browser as a COM object because I could not get it to work although I spent like 20 hours on it.
At least in VB6 it does not work (the usual VBExtender and m_Browser.object. calls would fail with EO.Browser while I got it to work with other browsers. Very strange.).
However, I am interested if you found a solution to the hanging problem in a clean .NET project.

Hi,
We did look into the clean VB.NET project you sent to us ---- and we could not reproduce the hang problem you have encountered. What version of EO DLL do you use?
Thanks!
