How to wait until WebBrowser is completely loaded in VB.NET?

I am using the WebBrowser control in my VB.NET application to load a few URLs ( ~10-15) and save their HTML source in a text file. However, my code doesn't write the source of the current page rather the initial one because the it is triggered even before the page is loaded.

How can I wait until the page is completely loaded before calling any event?

I tried the following code but it doesn't work.

Do Until WebBrowser1.ReadyState = WebBrowserReadyState.Complete
   Application.DoEvents()
Loop
webbrowser-control vb.net

Another option is to check if it's busy with a timer:

Set the timer as disabled by default. Then whenever navigating, enable it. i.e.:

WebBrowser1.Navigate("https://www.somesite.com")
tmrBusy.Enabled = True

And the timer:

    Private Sub tmrBusy_Tick(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles tmrBusy.Tick

        If WebBrowser1.IsBusy = True Then

            Debug.WriteLine("WB Busy ...")

        Else

            Debug.WriteLine("WB Done.")
            tmrBusy.Enabled = False

        End If

    End Sub
