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.

If you like and use CefSharp please consider signing up for a small monthly donation, even $25 can help tremendously. SeeFinancial Support for more details.

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.

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

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).

CI Builds
Every commit onmaster produces aNuget package. Use at your own risk!

Pre-release

Stable

With each release a new branch is created, for example the73.1.130 release corresponds to thecefsharp/73 branch.If you're new toCefSharp and are downloading the source to check it out, please use aRelease branch

To continue developing/supporting the project I (@amaitland) am asking for financial contributions. Donations of any size are greatly appreciated!

Recurring contributions can be made throughGitHub Sponsors it only takes a GitHub account and a credit card. Currently GitHub isdoubling(!) all pledges so is very much the preferred method of donation. I can also take contributions throughPayPal.

Now that I (@amaitland) am a stay at home dad your contributions are the only reason I'm allowed to continue working on the project. Without continued funding the time I currently spend on the project will have to be put into finding other paid work.
