Are there any good (or in active development) WebKit wrappers or ports for .Net?

p.s. I am aware of Swift.Net (old and out of date) and GeckoFX (firefox wrapper).

I use iMacros (high-level IE and Firefox wrapper) daily, but would be interested in an additional webkit solution, too.

I read about "WebKit Sharp" recently: webkit-sharp provides access to WebKit (http://live.gnome.org/WebKitGtk), a fast, high-quality web browser engine suited for embedding in GTK+ applications. It features bleeding-edge HTML5, AJAX, SVG and JavaScript capabilities with seamless UI integration.

Are you aware of "WebKit Sharp"? Did anyone use WebKit Sharp yet?

It needs a Visual Studio "port", or at least a standalone MonoDevelop package. Seems to be difficult to find in a nice package that can just load up and run.

From the subsequent research I've done, the answer, as of May 2009, is no, there are no decent managed wrappers for the WebKit browser engine.

Have you found anything new recently?

Nope, nothing. I think someone needs to start a WebKit.Net project.

Interesting. Looks like it needs some time, but will be interesting to follow.

This one seems to have made a bit of progress, though from looking at the svn repository, development appears to have stalled around Sept-Oct 2009. What I want is proper DOM access though, so I can build web automation processes using the control. i.e. click buttons, set input values, execute javascript, etc.
