How to make an WebSite Blocker?

How do you mean, Website blocker?

i dont want the webbrowser control to navigate to a some sites that are listed in a listbox control

Hello this is not my code,
On form load put this code:

LoadBlockedSites()

The sub to load the blocked sites in a listbox:

Private Sub LoadBlockedSites()
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
Dim s As String
For Each s In My.Settings.BlockedSites
ListBox1.Items.Add(s)
Next

The code to Add a blocked site:

If txtBlock.Text = "" Then
'Do nothing
Else
My.Settings.BlockedSites.Add(AppManager.FixURL(txtBlock.Text))
LoadBlockedSites()
txtBlock.Text = String.Empty
End If

Also make a setting with the Name: BlockedSites
The type as: System.Collections.Specialized.StringCollection
Scope as: User
Value as:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<ArrayOfString xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<string>www.codenstuff.com</string>
</ArrayOfString>

;o CodeNStuff blocked?
I think thats it if you get errors, you might, Then contact me
THIS CODE DOES NOT WORK :(

Just do something to check if the URL fits one of the sites in a ListBox, like if the URL contains www.codenstuff.com then it wont let you navigate to it by navigating to a kind of "error" web page made by you or other site.

You could do somthing link you can edit this to make it were is will read the text in a listbox

How about website un-blocker?

Here's a example :

Let's say you want to block out all website except for CodenStuff's website
do the following :

If Textbox1.Text.contains("codenstuff") Then
WebBrowser1.Navigate(Textbox1.Text)
Else
Msgbox("Only CodenStuff Links Will Work")
End If
