Opening a Report from a VB Application

Hi All,
I have a VB Application that lists all the reports on my report server in a
treeview control. Now all i need to do is open a report when it is clicked
on in my app.. What is the VB code to do this?
Thanks
SanjeevUse a browser control on your VB form. You can add this from the file
c:\windows\system32\shdocvw.dll. Read the report path from the treeview
control when a user selects an item to view, then use URL access to display
the report in the browser control as follows:
AxWebBrowser1.Navigate("http://MyReportServer/ReportServer?" & reportPath)
AxWebBrowser1 is the default name of the browser control when you place it
on the form.
There are lots of examples in Books Online. Look up the topic "Using URL
Acces from a Windows application".

What i did was add shdocvw.dll as a reference to my to my windows
application.
Then I added "Imports SHDocVw" to the code.
But the Browser Control didnt appear in my ToolBox.
I suppose that this was the wrong way to go about it.
Sorry to trouble you again but what is the riht way to go about this.
Thanks in advance
