Visual Basic So I'm taking

Visual Basic
So I'm taking a VB class. Learning good stuff but I don't have any great ideas for simple Windows based programs. Everything I think of relates to the Internet. So I asked the professor today how in VB I would grab URLs from the web. I just want what shows up in the address bar of Internet Explorer. But he didn't know. Frustrating. I haven't had any time to investigate online yet, but I figured I'd at least ask you all. Anyone know?
