Hi
I am trying to use a browser control in my app but am getting the following error
"Error 1 An object reference is required for the non-static field, method, or property 'Microsoft.Phone.Controls.WebBrowser.Source.get'"

Here is my code below

C#

public Page2()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

            Loaded += Page2_Loaded;
        }

        void Page2_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            search.Tap += search_Tap;
        }

        void search_Tap(object sender, System.Windows.Input.GestureEventArgs e)
        {
            WebBrowser.Source = new Uri(URLTextBox.Text, UriKind.Absolute);
        }

If you get the error on this line:

C#

WebBrowser.Source = new Uri(URLTextBox.Text, UriKind.Absolute);

Then you need to look at your usage of WebBrowser through your app - because at teh moment there is nothing assigned to it.

Either you forgot to create an instance of the WebBrowser Control at all, or you are executing the code you show above before the instance is created.
