I want to build an application in VB, having 2 textboxes. The user enters a word in the first textbox. That word is searched from some dictionary website and then returns the precise meaning in the second textbox. Is there anyone who can guide me to send a word from VB to web and then retrieve its meaning from web to VB application.
