To embed Gecko browser in your winform application, you need:
- XulRunner: XULRunner is a Mozilla runtime package that can be used to bootstrap XUL+XPCOM applications that are as rich as Firefox and Thunderbird. It provides mechanisms for installing, upgrading, and uninstalling these applications. XULRunner can be downloaded here. Choose the version you like.
GeckoFx .net assembly file, which you can download from here. Also choose the correct version which matches the XulRunner version.
Unpack the GeckoFX-330.zip, you will get below files:
- Add references to the dlls as shown above, click browse and select the Geckofx-Core.dll and Geckofx-Winforms.dll
- In the toolbox, right click, and then select “Choose Item”, select Geckofx-Winforms.dll, and the Gecko winform control will be shown in the toolbox
Drag a GeckoWebBrowser control to the winform designer, and let’s call it “browser”
In the form1.cs file, add below code:
The line Gecko.Xpcom.Initialize(@”..\xulrunner”); specifies where the xulrunner runtime is located. In this case, we put it into a folder (@”..\xulrunner”).
Now run the application, yeah~~~
