Embed Chrome in the C # App using Cefsharp

Introduced

Have you ever tried to integrate a reliable and fast Web browser in your app?

In this article, you'll learn how to easily integrate wonderful Cefsharp Web browser components (chromium-based) into your C # app.

You can then use this web browser:

• Provide an integrated browsing experience to the user
• Adding an embedded interface with Html/javascript programming
• For Web Automation

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

In this guide, we will use the WinForms project, but Cefsharp can also work on a WPF project.

Entry

Follow these steps to quickly start Cefsharp.

Project

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

2. Naming the project (e.g. "Ceftest")

DLL file (NuGet method)

3 a) If you are using NuGet, you can grab cefsharp.winforms from the NuGet code warehouse and skip the manual method below.

3B) If you've already used NuGet, navigate solution > Configuration Manager and set your project to x86 or x64 because ANYCPU is not currently supported.

DLL file (manual method)

If you're using NuGet, skip this section!

3 a) Download the Cefsharp binaries and unzip them.

Cefsharp v51 x86 (32-bit app)

Cefsharp V51 x64 (64-bit app)

3B) Right-click on your project, click "Add Reference" and select "Browse".

3C) Select these DLL files:

CefSharp.dll

CefSharp.Core.dll

CefSharp.WinForms.dll

3D) Select all files with Zip:

3 e) Copy those files to the debug folder of the project (in the bin)

Code

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

5. Add the following code:

Copy to import section:

Using Cefsharp; using Cefsharp.winforms;

Copy to Code snippet:

public Chromiumwebbrowser Browser;    initbrowser() {cef.initialize (new Chromiumwebbrowser (this). Controls.Add (browser); Browser. Dock = DockStyle.Fill;}   

InitializeComponent()call Initbrowser () after the call:

Initbrowser ()

Your code should end up like this:

Run it!

6. Press F5 and you will see the Google homepage!

Troubleshooting

A type of ' System. Io. FileNotFoundException ' Unhandled exception 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 that you have installed visual C + + redistributable.

A type of ' System. BadImageFormatException ' Unhandled exception appears in Browser.exe
Additional information: Unable to load file or ' Cefsharp. Core, version=43.0.0.0, culture=neutral, assembly

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

1. Open the Solution Explorer panel
2. Right-click your project >project Properties
3. Click the Build tab
4. Change platform target to x86 or x64
