If you're looking to implement any web browser control (i.e. utilize Internet Explorer), then you might want to have a look at this questions and its answers.

If you'd like to embed the user's preferred web browser, you're pretty much out of luck (there are possibly hacky ways to do it (e.g. modifying the browser's window and keeping it overlapping your control), but I wouldn't recommend them).

You might want to install the latest Windows SDK, especially when using older Express versions (didn't come with a Windows SDK preinstalled).
