Windows Forms WebBrowser control - supports Javascript? - c#

The Windows Forms WebBrowser control (Visual Studio) hosts Web pages and provides Web browsing capabilities to your application.
Does the WebBrowser control have inbuild support for rendering content loaded through Javascript, CSS etc.? Or does it render only plain HTML?

It supports javascript, css and etc. WebBrowser component is wrapper of Internet Explorer, and it works like Internet Explorer installed on your computer.
Flash, Silverlight, Video play correctly too.
Also, you may interact with page content from your .NET code or call .NET methods from javascript through windows.external object.

IE plugins in system.windows.forms.webbrowser

I am using system.windows.forms.webbrowser in my Win forms application with IE as my default browser. Does the IE plugin/ Patch be applicable for my WebBrowser control?
No. If you read the document you will find that system.windows.forms.webbrowser is using embedded Internet Explorer regardless of what your default browser is.
AFAIK there is no built in way to use chrome as embedded browser in win form. You need a third party lib for that.

WebKit DotNet is the best port of WebKit powerful browser engine into DotNetFramework.
It has nice and easy tutorials and properties and methods to customize.
It has JavaScript activated by default.
http://webkitdotnet.sourceforge.net/ is the official website.
http://webkitdotnet.sourceforge.net/basics.php is where you can find the basic tutorial
Webbrowser control is really crappy. I'm assuming you're trying to scape some kind of website. For this use HttpWebRequest instead.
If you`re trying create your own webbrowser: don't, or use Webkit or Gecko instead.
In case you're using the webbrowser control you will have to enable JavaScript in your Internet Explorer settings, because the webbrowser control is the Internet Explorer or at least the engine of it. IE has local JavaScript disabled by default, so this could be your problem. As user #user3855678 said I would recommend using Webkit etc too.

have you tried the native winforms WebBrowser control?
The WebBrowser control lets you host Web pages and other browser-enabled documents in your Windows Forms applications. You can use the WebBrowser control, for example, to provide integrated HTML-based user assistance or Web browsing capabilities in your application. Additionally, you can use the WebBrowser control to add your existing Web-based controls to your Windows Forms client applications.

Is there a way to display HTML page that is not dependent on IE?

My client WPF application needs to display an HTML page. I understand that the webbrowser control uses the version of IE that is installed on the box.
Is there a control to render HTML that can be totally embedded into my application so that it is not dependent on the version of IE, that the user has installed?
What would happed if a user is using IE6?
Thanks
You could always use WebKit .NET instead. It allows you to embed a WebKit browser in your .NET application without having to have extra software installed on the machine.
There is also geckofx if you would rather go the Mozilla Gecko route.
