# WebView2 (WebView)
> Uno Platform supports two `WebView` controls - the `WebView2` control and the legacy `WebView`. For new development, we strongly recommend `WebView2` as it will get further improvements in the future.
`WebView2` is supported on all Uno Platform targets.
## Basic usage
You can include the `WebView2` control anywhere in XAML:
```xaml
```
To manipulate the control from C#, first ensure that you call its `EnsureCoreWebView2Async` method:
```csharp
await MyWebView.EnsureCoreWebView2Async();
```
Afterward, you can perform actions such as navigating to an HTML string:
```csharp
MyWebView.NavigateToString("Hello world!
");
```
## Desktop support
To enable `WebView` on the `-desktop` target, add the `WebView` Uno Feature in your `.csproj`:
```diff
+ WebView;
```
> [!IMPORTANT]
> If your project's desktop builder in `Platforms/Desktop/Program.cs` uses `.UseWindows()`, you'll also need to add the `true` property for the integration to work. However, it is recommended to [migrate to `.UseWin32()`](xref:Uno.Development.MigratingToUno6) for better performance and reliability.
## WebAssembly support
In case of WebAssembly, the control is supported via a native `
