How do i stop the webbrowser redirecting to Runescape.com when i try to go to the worlds?

It doesn't seem to have a beforenavigate sub.
I've tried the "navigating" sub but:

Code:

if e.url = "http://www.runescape.com" then
e.cancel = true
end if

doesn't seem to work (it gives some error) :O

Also i saw dodge post this but don't quite understand how to use it:

Code:

Dim Webpage As AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser = New AxSHDocVw.AxWebBrowser  'create new browser instance
        AddHandler Webpage.BeforeNavigate2, AddressOf Me.Webpage_BeforeNavigate2
        AddHandler Webpage.NavigateComplete2, AddressOf Me.Webpage_NavigateComplete2
        Webpage.RegisterAsBrowser = True
        Webpage.Silent = True
        Webpage.Visible = True 
        Webpage.Navigate("URL")

EDIT
im gonna probably be posting alot of simple fix questions because im starting in .net now

Figured it out

Code:

Private Sub webMain_Navigating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserNavigatingEventArgs) Handles webMain.Navigating
        If e.Url.OriginalString = "http://www.runescape.com" Or e.Url.OriginalString = "http://www.runescape.com/" Then
            e.Cancel = True
        End If
    End Sub

Code:

If e.Url = New Uri("http://www.runescape.com/") Then e.Cancel = True

Makes sense.
The web browser control doesn't use the string datatype- uses the URI (Uniform Resource Identifier).

'System.Uri is a much safer way of storing URIs. Extensive manipulation of URI related data using plain strings has been shown to cause many security and correctness problems.'

As you have already solved your problem, I'm just explaining it.
