CefSharp Nuget Package
Background:
CefSharp is a .Net wrapping library for CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef
CEF is a C/C++ library that allows developers to embed the HTML content rendering strengths of Google's Chrome open source WebKit engine (Chromium).
Post Installation:
- Read the release notes for your version https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/releases (Any known issues will be listed here)
- Set either `x86` or x64` as your target architecture (See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms185328.aspx#Anchor_0 for details). `AnyCPU` support in versions > `51.0.0`, please see the release notes for details as additional steps are required to make it work.
- After installing the `Nuget` package we recommend closing Visual Studio completely and then reopening (This ensures your references show up and you have full intellisense).
- Check your output `\bin` directory to make sure the appropriate references have been copied.
- Build fails even though packages are installed. Short term rebuild again and everything should be find. Long term we recommend reading http://www.xavierdecoster.com/migrate-away-from-msbuild-based-nuget-package-restore
- Minimal designer support was added in version `57.0.0 for both `WinForms` and `WPF`. For older versions there is no designer support (designer will throw an exception).
Deployment:
- Make sure `Visual C++ 2013` is installed (`x86` or x64` depending on your build) or you package the runtime dlls with your application, see the FAQ for details.
