EO.WebBrowser (Chrome based Browser Component)

Who would use EO.WebBrowser?

EO.WebBrowser is not a new browser to join the browser war. Instead EO.WebBrowser is .NET class library that contains a set of .NET components for you to easily integrate Web page related features in your own application. In another word, it's for application developers. The TabbedBrowser sample demonstrats how easy it is to create a real mini Web Browser with EO.WebBrowser. C# and Visual Basic.NET source code are supplied with the sample. However any .NET programming language can be used. It also have a C++ programming interface. If your application already uses .NET's built-in WebBrowser control, then EO.WebBrowser would be a perfect replacement.

Why use EO.WebBrowser?

• Based on Google's Chrome Project

  EO.WebBrowser uses the same core Google's Chrome and Apple Safari uses. It does not rely on IE. The engine is much faster and safer.

• Zero External Dependency

  What if user updates/uninstall their browser? What if user disables JavaScript in Internet Explorer's settings dialog? These questions does not exist with EO.WebBrowser because everything is embedded inside a single DLL file.

• Native .NET components written in C#

  Because it's written in .NET, you can use it with any .NET based language/development tool. The same DLL works for both 32 bit and 64 bit environments;

• Easy to use Programming Interface

  EO.WebBrowser offers core components that can be used in any Windows application, as well as wrapper controls for both Windows Forms applications and WPF applications, and wrapper class for native C++ applications;

• Extensive Customization Options

  EO.WebBrowser offers extensive customization options that allow you to customize context menu, hot keys, JavaScript dialogs, file dialogs, focus and window control. Together these features allow you to seamlessly integrate the browser engine into your application;

• .NET code -> JavaScript code

  Turn any web page into an integral part of your application -- both visually and programmatically. You can execute JavaScript code and access all the JavaScript objects directly from your .NET code. Access their properties or even call a JavaScript function are all different options available to you;

• JavaScript code -> .NET code

  Things always go both ways --- and this is reflected in our programming interface as well. You can call JavaScript code from .NET code, and the other way around is also true --- you can call .NET code from your JavaScript code. This allows your Web page to seamlessly interact with the host application;

• Custom Resource Handler

  Want to keep an eye on everything? Or want to keep everything to yourself? We got you covered. EO.WebBrowser offers ability to intercept and modify all requests that originate from the browser engine. For example, you can automatically deny all request sent to a specific host. It also offers you the ability to implement custom protocols or custom resource handlers. For example, you can implement a custom request handler to load images from your database instead of a Web server;
