Bill: C # Development Chrome kernel browser (webkit.net)

Webkit.net is a. NET package for WebKit, which uses. NET programs to integrate and use WebKit easily as a container for loading web pages. Here's how to use it to display one of the simplest features of a Web page.

The first step:

Download the bin file for webkit.net. Do not underestimate this step, you may not be able to download the success, the reason you understand.

Webkit.net's homepage is http://webkitdotnet.sourceforge.net/

Download the 0.5 version of the Windows bin file directly with the address: https://sourceforge.net/projects/webkitdotnet/files/WebKit%20.NET%200.x/0.5/ Webkit.net-0.5-bin-cairo.zip/download

Step Two:

Create a new WindowsForms project.

Then copy all the files in the downloaded Webkit.net bin directory to the bin/debug/directory of the new project.

Add a reference and browse to add a reference to "WebKitBrowser.dll".

Step Three:

To write the code. Double-click the Form1 form to enter the code and write down these lines of code:

private void Form1_Load (object sender, EventArgs e)        {            Webkit.webkitbrowser browser = new Webkitbrowser ();            Browser. Dock = DockStyle.Fill;            This. Controls.Add (browser);            Browser. Navigate ("http://hcsem.com");        }

WebBrowser vs. IE Kernel:

It's a very simple three-step. But then again, nowadays it is popular one step, such as using System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser.

Use. NET Framework, it may be easier to invoke the webbrowser of the IE kernel to display the Web page, simply by writing a few lines of code in the new project:

  private void Form1_Load (object sender, EventArgs e)        {            WebBrowser browser = new WebBrowser ();            Browser. Dock = DockStyle.Fill;            This. Controls.Add (browser);            Browser. Navigate ("http://hcsem.com");           }

The effect looks pretty much the same, the naked eye can only see a slightly different font:

Since all the same, why bother to download a few m DLL to display the page? This is because if the use of IE kernel webbrowser we can not predict the effect of the page display, such as your computer is XP, may call IE6 as the loader, if it is Win7, may call IE8 as the loader, and their display effect is not exactly the same. Let's take a look at the following example.

Http://css3.zxq.net/doraemon/doraemon_css3.html This page is used to test the extent to which the browser supports CSS3. Now we're going to show this page in 2 different ways.

private void Form1_Load (object sender, EventArgs e)        {            WebBrowser browser = new WebBrowser ();            Browser. Dock = DockStyle.Fill;            Browser. Navigate ("http://css3.zxq.net/doraemon/doraemon_css3.html");            SPLITCONTAINER1.PANEL1.CONTROLS.ADD (browser);            Webkit.webkitbrowser kitbrowser = new Webkitbrowser ();            Kitbrowser.dock = DockStyle.Fill;            Kitbrowser.navigate ("http://css3.zxq.net/doraemon/doraemon_css3.html");            SPLITCONTAINER1.PANEL2.CONTROLS.ADD (Kitbrowser);        }

The native system is WIN7+IE9, but through WebBrowser calls, it is estimated that the IE8 kernel is still in use, so the display effect is poor.

By this contrast, you can see that one more step of trouble, is necessary.
