Possible to show the URL-Bar in a Webbrowser control on Windows phone 7?

I am currently playing a little bit around with the development environment. At the moment I am writing a small app, which adresses a Webbrowser-Control.

Therefore I was looking for an opportunity, to show the URL-bar and maybe manipulating the URL via input of the user. Is this anyway possible, or not implemented for the webbrowser control?

Thanks in advance!

The WebBrowser control itself doesn't have a URL bar. It is simply a control that has the ability to display HTML and run Javascript. The easiest way way to simulate one would be to create a textbox. You can then use its Navigate method to load the webpage:

myWebBrowserControl.Navigate(myTextboxUrl.Text);

Alternatively, you can use the WebBrowserTask, but your app loses all control of the user's activities within this task.

I think it'd be easier to just launch the web browser task directly. Customizing the URL bar would probably require rolling your own.
