How to open dynamic WebBrowser link address in new window form?

Question

I have found the error at href so please help me

Private Sub WebBrowser1_NewWindow(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.NewWindow
    Dim thiselement As HtmlElement = WebBrowser1.Document.ActiveElement
    Dim targeturl As String = thiselement.GetAttribute("href") 
    e.Cancel = True
    Dim window As New Form1
    window.Show()
    window.WebBrowser1.Navigate(targeturl)
End Sub

at "href" i have found error like Object reference not set to an instant of object. my code is in vb.net 2010.

What's the error? Do you have any stacktrace to analyze? Also, this is vb.net, **it is not Java nor PHP nor C#** — Luiggi Mendoza, Oct 01 '13 at 05:24
Why on earth would someone with complete control of his mind tag this as `Java`? — Rohit Jain, Oct 01 '13 at 05:24

WebBrowser1.Document.ActiveElement is returning Nothing because there is no active element. Therefore when you attempt to use targeturl, you get this error: Object reference not set to an instant of object

@PinalMishra, [this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/6473442/1768303) explains how to do exactly what you're asking for, in details. You only need to convert it from C# to VB.NET. Use `ieframe.dll` instead of `shdocvw.dll` to add the reference. – noseratio Oct 02 '13 at 12:51

Handle the Navigating event. Example:

webBrowser1.Navigating += Function(source, args) 
    Dim uriClicked = args.Uri
    ' Create your new form or do whatever you want to do here
End Function
