Outlook Add-in Filter: How can my COM add-in use the web browser that is built into Outlook?

I have a toolbar add-in (C#) for Outlook. I want it to open up a web page inside of Outlook, as opposed to opening up a separate IE window, using Outlook's built-in browser control. I'm pretty new to Outlook programming and can't find any examples.

Links to sample code or snippets in your response are welcome.

The webbrowser that is built into outlook is IE, so you would just implement IWebBrowser2 in your window and you're done. A good example of this (with an example in C#) is How to: Add Web Browser Capabilities to a Windows Forms Application

in your window

How about using the browser window that Outlook has? I mean, a user can open a browser window using the web toolbar. Wouldn't it be easier to use that instead of creating my own form and browser control?
