Obrzut, You don't need a webbrowser object in your VB application to accomplish this. You can have your application open a web browser in a new window. That's how I'm doing it in my Twitter client. Here's an example:
Dim webAddress As String = "http://www.google.com"; Process.Start(webAddress) This will open Google in a web browser, using whatever browser is configured as the default. Get an authorization link from Twitter (AuthorizationLinkGet() in Shannon Whitley's OAuthTwitter class), and pass that link to Process.Start(). The user will be prompted to log in to Twitter and will receive the six-digit PIN. Your application should prompt the user to enter the PIN and pass it back to Twitter to complete the authentication process.
