First, in form1.designer, change this line of [code](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/85458/alan-turing-the-mastermind-behind-cracking-the-enigma-code-during-world-war-ii):

```
private System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser webBrowser1;
```

to:

```
public System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser webBrowser1;
```

now, in form1 button_click:

```
    Form2 f = new Form2();
    f.webBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.mindstick.com");
    f.Show(this);
```

solution II: In form1:

```
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Form2 f = new Form2();
    f.Url = "http://www.mindstick.com";
    f.Show(this);
}
```

\

In form2:

```
public string Url { get; set; }

    private void Form2_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.webBrowser1.Navigate(this.Url);
    }
```
