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) - Read the `Need to know/limitations` section of the General usage guide (https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/General-Usage#need-to-knowlimitations) - For `x86` or x64` set your projects PlatformTarget architecture to `x86` or `x64`. - `AnyCPU` target is supported though requires additional code/changes see https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/issues/1714 for details. - Check your output `\bin` directory to make sure the appropriate references have been copied. - Add an app.manifest to your exe if you don't already have one, it's required for Windows 10 compatability, HighDPI support and tooltips. The https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp.MinimalExample project contains an example app.manifest file in the root of the WPF/WinForms/OffScreen examples. Deployment: - Make sure a minimum of `Visual C++ 2019` is installed (`x86` or x64` depending on your build) or package the runtime dlls with your application, see the FAQ for details. What's New: See https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/ChangeLog IMPORTANT NOTE - Visual C++ 2019 is now required IMPORTANT NOTE - .NET Framework 4.5.2 is now required. IMPORTANT NOTE - Chromium has removed support for Windows XP/2003 and Windows Vista/Server 2008 (non R2). Basic Troubleshooting: - Minimum of .Net 4.5.2 - Minimum of `Visual C++ 2019 Redist` is installed (either `x86` or `x64` depending on your application). - Please ensure your binaries directory contains these required dependencies: * libcef.dll (Chromium Embedded Framework Core library) * icudtl.dat (Unicode Support data) * chrome_elf.dll(Crash reporting library) * snapshot_blob.bin, v8_context_snapshot.bin (V8 snapshot data) * locales\en-US.pak, chrome_100_percent.pak, chrome_200_percent.pak, resources.pak, d3dcompiler_47.dll, libEGL.dll, libGLESv2.dll, swiftshader/libEGL.dll, swiftshader/libGLESv2.dll - Whilst these are technically listed as optional, the browser is unlikely to function without these files. - See https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/Output-files-description-table-%28Redistribution%29 for details * CefSharp.Core.dll, CefSharp.dll, CefSharp.Core.Runtime.dll CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe, CefSharp.BrowserSubProcess.Core.dll - These are required CefSharp binaries that are the common core logic binaries of CefSharp. * One of the following UI presentation libraries: * CefSharp.WinForms.dll * CefSharp.Wpf.dll * CefSharp.OffScreen.dll - Additional CEF files are described at: https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/Output-files-description-table-%28Redistribution%29 - NOTE: CefSharp does not currently support CEF sandboxing. - By default `CEF` has it's own log file, `Debug.log` which is located in your executing folder. e.g. `bin` For further help please read the following content: - General Usage Guide https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/General-Usage - Minimal Example Projects showing the browser in action (https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp.MinimalExample) - CefSharp GitHub https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp - CefSharp's Wiki on github (https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki) - FAQ: https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions - Troubleshooting guide (https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/Trouble-Shooting) - Google Groups (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/cefsharp) - Historic reference only - CefSharp vs Cef (https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#cefsharp-vs-cef) - Join the active community and ask your question on Gitter Chat (https://gitter.im/cefsharp/CefSharp) - If you have a reproducible bug then please open an issue on `GitHub` Please consider giving back, it's only with your help will this project to continue.
