But it really depends on how you've chosen to store it. Is what you're really asking "How should I store a URL in C++?"

The string (from the text box) is converted into Url (for the web browser), and then the Url is set in the web browser. My problem is I don't know how to convert 'System::String' into 'System::Uri'. I have tried many things, like: Convert::ToUri Convert::ToSUri Convert::ToSystem::Uri Convert::ToUri Convert::ToUrl But most of them get build errors. That is my problem.

Try just using the constructor: CODE Uri^ baseUri = gcnew Uri( "http://www.contoso.com/" ); the default constructor takes a String as a parameter. Code From MSDN: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/z6c2z492.aspx

The objects are different. Managed C++ (or C++.NET) is MS's version of C++ for the .NET platform. See the link I posted. @jasonprince: Not sure where the disconnect is here - if you visit the link i gave, you'll see an example - the very one I provided. You want to have a URI object, correct? the code I provided declares a URI object named baseuri, and instantiates it through it's constructor with a value of thee website URL. Simply pass the constructor the value of the String object you have.
