hi, I need a web browser inside my .NET 3.5 application and I don't want to use the default webbrowser (because it feels buggy and slow). I tried Chris Cavanagh's chromium but I just couldn't get it to work... are there any easier to use alternatives? I'm looking for something very simple and light on the computer, it will host a webstore front if that matters.

I found some collection of FAQs for this subject on http://www.syncfusion.com/faq/windowsforms/faq_c100c.aspx

but I have not tried myself.

I'm not sure there are that many alternatives, http://webkitdotnet.sourceforge.net/ is one though. I think that's a WinForms control rather than a WPF one though, so it might need a bit of jumping through hoops to get it working.

I believe you can embed the Gecko web engine as a COM object, and use it as a standard .NET control. (Firefox uses Gecko)

Try this link: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko

I've had luck using GeckoFX in a C# win form application. Here is the getting started article, which explains what dependencies you'll need to install to get it up and running.
