I need a google chrome browser control for vb.net, though technically it could work for any .net language.

Reason: I want to make my own web browser, but I do not want to code my own parser so I would like to use Chrome's instead (and give proper credit of course).

I've googled this, and haven't been able to find anything

Thanks for your help! I just need someone to point me in the right direction.

Essentially, I want the WebBrowser control, but instead of basing it off of IE I would like to use Chrome as I prefer chrome to ie. I also want a bit more control over the component, the WebBrowser is terrible if you want to make your own browser, and laggy as heck.

EDIT: This needs to work for WinForms, not wpf. I think (personally) that I can make my browser much easier in winforms, but if you can only find a wpf control thats okay too.

Looks like this guy has it all figured out.

EDIT:

He's done it with WPF, so it'll be a little different for winforms. Looks like the real gold is Awesomium.

Its wpf, but Ill see if I can get it working in WinForms. Looks good!

Since chrome uses Webkit, I would assume something like this would work for you:

What files in the compiled one need to be used, and which are just for the demo?

I haven't personally used this, but I imagine the tutorial would be a very good place to start:http://webkitdotnet.sourceforge.net/using.php
