    text
    copied!<p>I'd love to know if there is such a thing as a Gecko.NET ;) I mean, just like we can embed a WebView and that is an "instance" of IE7 inside any Windows Forms application (and tell it to <code>navigateto(fancy_url);</code>). I'd love to use Firefox or WebKit. </p> <p>Anybody tried this?</p> <p><strong>UPDATE</strong>: Please bear in mind that although it is possible to embed Gecko using the mentioned controls, it is still impossible to <strong>print</strong> while using Gecko.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE March 2010</strong>: It’s still not possible to print natively using GeckoFX, however a couple of methods exist that <em>may</em> be enough, depending upon what you’re trying to do. See: <a href="http://geckofx.org/viewtopic.php?id=796" rel="noreferrer">http://geckofx.org/viewtopic.php?id=796</a> for more information.</p> <p><strong>UPDATE October 2013</strong>: I am no longer doing Windows development so I have no interest in this, but seems like the development of Gecko can be found here: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/geckofx" rel="noreferrer">https://bitbucket.org/geckofx</a> and it seems to be recently updated. Leaving this here for future Windows devs ;)</p> <p><strong>UPDATE January 2017</strong>: I have gotten an email from a company called <a href="http://www.teamdev.com" rel="noreferrer">TeamDev</a>. They created a Chromium-based .NET browser component called "DotNetBrowser" which can be used to display modern web pages in Windows Forms applications. </p> <p>To quote the email directly:</p> <blockquote> <p>Here are some details about the component, which might be helpful:</p> </blockquote> <ol> <li>DotNetBrowser is based on Chromium, thus supporting HTML5, CSS3, JS and the latest web standards. The underlying Chromium version of the library is regularly updated.</li> <li>The component is suitable for WPF as well as Windows Forms desktop applications, and works both for C# and VB.NET.</li> <li>The library is licensed commercially, however free licences are provided for Open Source and academic projects.</li> </ol> <p><strong>Disclaimer:</strong> <em>I have not used this DotNetBrowser for I no longer do Windows Development but may be worth checking if you're looking for a solution to this.</em></p>
