Migration
Installing from ZIP
This guide describes how to add DotNetBrowser downloaded in ZIP acrhive to .NET project.
To include DotNetBrowser into your Microsoft Visual Studio Project, download and extract the archive into a directory. Then include the DotNetBrowser assemblies into your Visual Studio Project
Assemblies list
The library consists of the following assemblies:
DotNetBrowser.dll— data classes and interfaces;DotNetBrowser.Core.dll— the core implementation;DotNetBrowser.Logging.dll— the DotNetBrowser Logging API implementation;DotNetBrowser.WinForms.dll— the classes and interfaces for embedding into a WinForms app;DotNetBrowser.Wpf.dll— the classes and interfaces for embedding into a WPF app;DotNetBrowser.Chromium.Win-x86.dll— the Chromium 32-bit binaries for Windows;DotNetBrowser.Chromium.Win-x64.dll— the Chromium 64-bit binaries for Windows.
DotNetBrowser itself depends on protobuf-net, and you can find the corresponding assemblies in the distribution archive.
Platform-specific
If you need DotNetBrowser to work only on a specific platform, you can add the appropriate assemblies to the project references listed below.
If your application runs only on 64-bit platforms, and you do not need to support 32-bit platform, you can add only 64-bit binaries.
Windows AnyCPU
DotNetBrowser.dll
DotNetBrowser.Core.dll
DotNetBrowser.Logging.dll
DotNetBrowser.Chromium.Win-x86.dll
DotNetBrowser.Chromium.Win-x64.dll
Windows 32-bit
DotNetBrowser.dll
DotNetBrowser.Core.dll
DotNetBrowser.Logging.dll
DotNetBrowser.Chromium.Win-x86.dll
Windows 64-bit
DotNetBrowser.dll
DotNetBrowser.Core.dll
DotNetBrowser.Logging.dll
DotNetBrowser.Chromium.Win-x64.dll
UI framework
If you develop a desktop application where you want to display some web content, add one more assembly to your project references depending on the UI framework you use.
WPF
DotNetBrowser.dll
DotNetBrowser.Core.dll
DotNetBrowser.Logging.dll
DotNetBrowser.Chromium.Win-x86.dll
DotNetBrowser.Chromium.Win-x64.dll
DotNetBrowser.Wpf.dll
If your WPF application runs on 64-bit platforms, and 32-bit ones are not supported, it is enough to reference only DotNetBrowser.Chromium.Win-x64.dll along with the rest above-mentioned assemblies.
WinForms
DotNetBrowser.dll
DotNetBrowser.Core.dll
DotNetBrowser.Logging.dll
DotNetBrowser.Chromium.Win-x86.dll
DotNetBrowser.Chromium.Win-x64.dll
DotNetBrowser.WinForms.dll
If your WinForms application runs on 32-bit platforms, and 64-bit platforms are not supported, it is enough to reference DotNetBrowser.WinForms.x86.dll along with the rest above-mentioned assemblies.
Adding referenced assemblies to project
-
In Solution Explorer, right-click References and select the Add Reference… menu item:
-
In the opened Reference Manager dialog, click the Browse… button:
-
Select the desired assemblies and click Add:
-
Double-check all selected references are added and appear in the Reference Manager dialog and click OK:
Adding DotNetBrowser.Chromium.Win-xx.dll is optional; DotNetBrowser.Chromium.Win-xx.dll is found automatically if it is located in the same folder as DotNetBrowser.dll.
