vb.net Using regex.Replace gives me overload resolution failed error

I'm trying to remove img files from webbrowser1 control.

This is what I did.

 Private Sub WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs) Handles WebBrowser1.DocumentCompleted

        Dim origHTML As String
        origHTML = WebBrowser1.DocumentText
        Dim newHTML As String
        Dim regex As String = "<img.*/>"
        newHTML = regex.Replace(origHTML, regex, "", RegexOptions.Multiline)
        WebBrowser1.DocumentText = newHTML

        WebBrowser1.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = True

    End Sub

I'm getting 'Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'Replace' accepts this number of arguments' error. Any advice, please.

You're using String's Replace, not the Regex object's Replace.

Try this:

Dim pattern As String = "<img.*/>"
newHTML = Regex.Replace(origHTML, pattern, "", RegexOptions.Multiline)

I'm not sure if that Regex pattern will work though, but that should fix the overload error.
