CefSharp lets you embed Chromium in .NET apps. It is a lightweight .NET wrapper around theChromium Embedded Framework (CEF) by Marshall A. Greenblatt. About 30% of the bindings are written in C++/CLI with the majority of code here is C#. It can be used from C# or VB, or any other CLR language. CefSharp provides both WPF and WinForms web browser control implementations.

CefSharp isBSD licensed, so it can be used in both proprietary and free/open source applications. For the full details, see theLICENSE file.

Stable binaries are released on NuGet, and contain everything you need to embed Chromium in your .Net/CLR application. For usage see theQuick Start guide orFAQ #8.

• CefSharp.WinForms
• CefSharp.Wpf
• CefSharp.OffScreen

• See theCefSharp.Wpf.Example orCefSharp.WinForms.Example projects for example web browsers built with CefSharp. They demo most of the available features.
• See theCefSharp.MinimalExample project for a basic demo of using the CefSharp NuGet packages.
• See theGeneral Usage Guide in help getting started/dealing with common scenarios.
• See theWiki for work-in-progress documentation
• See theFAQ for help with common issues
• Upgrading from an earlier version of CefSharp? See theChangeLog for breaking changes and upgrade tips.
• CefSharp API generated from the souce code comments.

Stackoverflow as always is a useful resource, you can post your more complex issues here. TheCefSharp Google Group isno longer active. It is however a useful resource for archived questions/answers.

This is theofficial CefSharp fork, as maintained by the CefSharp community. You can also viewthe entire network of public forks/branches.

Note Due to so many Forks - Github can't process them through theNetwork Graphs Section so, if you need to do a search use the following:cefsharp fork:true and it will be able to process all of the forks.

Development is done in themaster branch. New features are preferably added in feature branches, if the changes are more than trivial. NewPR's should be targeted againstmaster.

When a new release is imminent arelease branch is created. We try to avoid making public facingAPI changes inrelease branches (Adding new features is fine, just not breaking changes).

Pre-release

Stable
for eitherWPF orWinForms orOffScreen.

With each release a new branch is created, for example the53.0.1 release corrisponds to thecefsharp/53 branch.If your new toCefSharp and are downloading the source to check it out, please use aRelease branch

Creating regular releases of CefSharp is a time intensive process and so to support further development we ask if can contribute financially to the next release?
