CefSharp is the the easiest way to embed a full-featured standards-complaint web browser into your C# or VB.NET app. CefSharp has browser controls for WinForms and WPF apps, and a headless (offscreen) version for automation projects too. CefSharp is based on Chromium Embedded Framework, the open source version of Google Chrome.
Step 3: Design your form as below
Step 4: Add code to handle your form as below
using CefSharp; using CefSharp.WinForms; using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace ChromiumCsharp { public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } ChromiumWebBrowser chrome; private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { CefSettings settings = new CefSettings(); //Initialize Cef.Initialize(settings); txtUrl.Text = "https://www.google.com"; chrome = new ChromiumWebBrowser(txtUrl.Text); this.pContainer.Controls.Add(chrome); chrome.Dock = DockStyle.Fill; chrome.AddressChanged += Chrome_AddressChanged; } private void Chrome_AddressChanged(object sender, AddressChangedEventArgs e) { //Update url in multiple thread this.Invoke(new MethodInvoker(() => { txtUrl.Text = e.Address; })); } private void btnGo_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { chrome.Load(txtUrl.Text); } private void btnRefresh_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { chrome.Refresh(); } private void btnForward_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (chrome.CanGoForward) chrome.Forward(); } private void btnBack_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (chrome.CanGoBack) chrome.Back(); } private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e) { Cef.Shutdown(); } } }
