[](https://cefsharp.github.io/ "CefSharp - Embedded Chromium for .NET") [](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/cefsharp/cefsharp/branch/master) [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/CefSharp.WinForms/) [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/CefSharp.Wpf/) [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/CefSharp.Wpf.HwndHost/) [](https://www.nuget.org/packages/CefSharp.OffScreen/) Got a quick question? [Discussions](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/discussions) here on `GitHub` is the preferred place to ask! [CefSharp](https://cefsharp.github.io/) lets you embed Chromium in .NET apps. It is a lightweight .NET wrapper around the [Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF)](https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/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 is [BSD](https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause "BSD License") licensed, so it can be used in both proprietary and free/open source applications. For the full details, see the [LICENSE](LICENSE) file. If you like and use CefSharp please consider signing up for a small monthly donation, even $25 can help tremendously. See [Financial Support](README.md#Financial-Support) for more details. ## Releases Stable binaries are released on NuGet, and contain everything you need to embed Chromium in your .Net/CLR application. For usage see the [Quick Start](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/Quick-Start) guide or checkout [CefSharp.MinimalExample](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp.MinimalExample/) project for basic demos using the CefSharp NuGet packages. - [CefSharp.WinForms](https://www.nuget.org/packages/CefSharp.WinForms/) - [CefSharp.Wpf](https://www.nuget.org/packages/CefSharp.Wpf/) - [CefSharp.OffScreen](https://www.nuget.org/packages/CefSharp.OffScreen/) - [CefSharp.Wpf.HwndHost](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp.Wpf.HwndHost/) (A [HwndHost](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.interop.hwndhost) based WPF implementation, similar to hosting the WinForms version in WPF, supports data binding, airspace issues apply). ## Documentation * See the [CefSharp.Wpf.Example](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/tree/master/CefSharp.Wpf.Example) or [CefSharp.WinForms.Example](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/tree/master/CefSharp.WinForms.Example) projects for example web browsers built with CefSharp. They demo most of the available features. * See the [CefSharp.MinimalExample](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp.MinimalExample/) project for a basic demo of using the CefSharp NuGet packages. * See the [General Usage Guide](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/General-Usage) in help getting started/dealing with common scenarios. * See the [Wiki](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki) for work-in-progress documentation * See the [FAQ](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions) for help with common issues * Upgrading from an earlier version of CefSharp? See the [ChangeLog](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/ChangeLog) for breaking changes and upgrade tips. * [CefSharp API](https://cefsharp.github.io/api/) generated from the source code comments. ## Contact Please keep the `Issue Tracker` for **Bugs** only please! Before submitting a `PR` please read [CONTRIBUTING](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md). - [CefSharp Discussions](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/discussions) is generally where `CefSharp` specific questions should be asked, please search before posting, thanks! - [Stackoverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/cefsharp) is where generic html/javascript/C# questions can be asked. - [Chromium Embedded Framework(CEF) Forum](https://magpcss.org/ceforum/viewforum.php?f=18) ## Branches & Forks This is the `official` CefSharp fork, as maintained by the CefSharp community. You can also view [the entire network of public forks/branches](https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/network). Development is done in the `master` branch. New features are preferably added in feature branches, if the changes are more than trivial. New `PR's` should be targeted against `master`. When a new release is imminent a `release` branch is created. We try to avoid making public facing `API` changes in `release` branches (Adding new features is fine, just not breaking changes). ### Releases **CI Builds**<br/> Every commit on `master` produces a `Nuget` package.

If you're new to `CefSharp` and are downloading the source to check it out, please use a **Release** branch. ***** VC++ 2019 is required starting with version 93<br/> ****** For .Net Core Packages .Net Core 3.1 or .Net 5/6/7 are required. | Branch | CEF Version | VC++ Version | .Net Version | Status |
