CefSharp is an easy way to embed a full-featured standards-compliant 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. CefSharp embraces modern web standards, and supports HTML5, JavaScript, CSS3 and HTML5 audio/video elements. 3D content is supported via WebGL which uses OpenGL/DirectX for hardware accelerated rendering. CefSharp includes embedded modules for PDF, web page printing and the WebKit Inspector (developer tools). CefSharp has no external dependencies, and the full build of CefSharp only adds ~80 MB to your app. See the CefSharp.MinimalExample project for ready-to-compile minimal example apps built with CefSharp. Within the projects source there are more complicated example projects.

Features

  • CefSharp is a .NET wrapper around the fantastic Chromium Embedded Framework project
  • You can programmatically execute Javascript, expose .Net classes to JavaScript, and receive callbacks when JavaScript events fire
  • You can programmatically call DevTools methods
  • You can use CefSharp to display embedded UI built with HTML5, or to display remote web content and web applications
  • Leverage the slick Chromium web browser for a buttery-smooth user experience
  • CefSharp outperforms every other C# web browser control, including GeckoFX, OpenWebkitSharp, WebKit.NET and Awesomium
