Sorry if this has been posted before on here, I havent reviewed the threads much over the last few weeks but did have a quick look first.

Whats the deal with this?

Apparently the word Linux is a banned word and cant be used as part of your 'gamer motto' on XBOX Live?

Guys, I have looked everywhere but cannot find the way to read / set a value in an input field using the Browser control in VB.Net 2005.

In VS 2003 (.Net 1.1) the axWebBrowser Control would allow:

field value = Browser.Document.GetElementsByName("element_name").value()

or

Browser.Document.GetElementsByName("element_name").value() = "new value"

These functions no longer appear to work, and I have been searching around for hours and hours trying to find the new method for this simple operation.

Please, anyone who knows, lend me a hand and I will be forever grateful!!

After installing several builds of Vista/Longhorn over the past couple of years, I would really have to say the have pulled it together very well for Beta 2.

Previous builds had frequent explorer crashes, DWM leaks etc, and would be nearly unusable for any amount of time on my Acer x64 Laptop with 1.5 Gb of RAM!

Not with Beta 2 however, from install it had all drivers and runs almost everything I have tried.

Blue Screens/Lock ups/Driver issues 0

Did I just get lucky and pick a laptop that someone in Microsoft uses or what?!

Have many other Beta 2 users that have actually used a few different CTP's / Pre-CTP builds found this to be a vast improvement with regard to stability and speed - all I keep hearing about is 'blah this and blah that'...

not that its without its 'unfinished' bits, but overall I finally have faith in what will be the finished product.

I just hope that other Beta testers (I know Spoofnozzle has plenty of gripes) manage to see it running like it has been for me.
