Introduction

Have you ever tried to integrate a reliable and fast web browser into app?

How to easily integrate the wonderful CefSharp web browser components (based on Chromium) into your C # app.

You can then use this web browser:

Provide users with an integrated browsing experience

Adding embedded Interface with HTML / JavaScript programming

For web automation

CefSharp is reliable, fast, completely open source, and can be installed to end users (except VC + + Runtime 2013) without any additional dependencies.

We will use the WinForms project, but CefSharp can also work on the WPF project.

Introduction

Follow these steps to start CefSharp quickly.

Project

1. Create a Windows forms application (C #) project with .NET 4.5.2

two。 Name the project (such as "CefTest")

DLL file (NuGet method)

3A) if you are using NuGet, you can grab CefSharp.WinForms from the NuGet code repository and skip the manual method below.

3B) if you are already using NuGet, navigate SOLUTION > Configuration Manager and set your project to x86 or x64, because AnyCPU is not currently supported.

DLL files (manual method)

If you are using NuGet, please skip this chapter!

3A) download the CefSharp binaries and extract them.

CefSharp v51 x86 (32-bit app)

CefSharp v51 x64 (64-bit app)

3B) right-click your project, click "Add Reference", and then select "Browse".

3C) Select these DLL files:

CefSharp.dll

CefSharp.Core.dll

CefSharp.WinForms.dll

3D) use ZIP to select all files:

3e) copy those files to the Debug folder of the project (in Bin)

Code

4. Right-click your main form and select "View Code".

5. Add the following code:

Copy to the import section:

Using CefSharp;using CefSharp.WinForms

Copy to code snippet:

Public ChromiumWebBrowser browser;public void InitBrowser () {Cef.Initialize (new CefSettings ()); browser = new ChromiumWebBrowser ("www.google.com"); this.Controls.Add (browser); browser.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;}

After calling InitializeComponent (), call InitBrowser ():

InitBrowser ()

Your code should end up like this:

Run it!

6. Press the F5 key and you will see the Google home page!

Troubleshooting

An unhandled exception of type 'System.IO.FileNotFoundException' appears in browser.exe

Additional information: unable to load file or 'CefSharp.Core.dll' assembly or one of its dependencies.

If you receive this error, make sure you have Visual C + + 2013 Redistributable installed.

An unhandled exception of type 'System.BadImageFormatException' appears in browser.exe

Other information: unable to load file or 'CefSharp.Core, Version=43.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, assembly

If you get this error, it means that you are on 64-bit PC and your app is built in AnyCPU mode. You need to change to x86 or x64 mode:

Open the Solution Explorer panel

Right-click your project > Project Properties

Click the Build tab

Change Platform target to x86 or x64
