Hi Chris,
A curious thing happens to me. I am building an app that works intensively with a social network website: http://tuenti.com. This website uses tons of javascript and suffers from huge memory leaks in IE, reason why I am searching for altervatives to .NET WebBrowser control. However, almost everything I have tried works in most of the website (even complex websites such as facebook) but NOT on Tuenti.com. Error types are of all range; from website style errors to just not being able to pass the log-in screen.
After a lot of trials, voilá, you “YouCube 3.0 – WPF Web Browser” is able to render Tuenti.com and interact with it without any problem. This was great for me, the first time I was able to render tuenti.com in a custom application, not using IE. However, if I try AwesomiumSharp, for example, tuenti.com still doesn’t work.
What do you think the reason of all this could be?

I have also been unable to compile the sample ChromiumBrowserDemo myself. No VS2008 so used the compiled AwesomiumWrapper you provided in the comments of the post, but now AccessViolationExceptions fires in webView.LoadULR(url); Do I requiere VS2008 in my case? I know this is maybe too much, but could you provide some binnary package or something, with a ready to use WebBrowser control to be used in a WPF proyect?
Thanks a lot for you work.

Cristian – Have you tried the C# wrapper that’s now included with Awesomium? (http://awesomium.com/#about). If it’s an issue with the latest Awesomium stuff, it’s definitely worth posting the question on the Awesomium forum at http://support.awesomium.com/.
Hope this helps!

Probably an issue with Awesomium, or maybe tuenti.com could be only prepared for working with well-know browsers. But, the fact is that it works with your “YouCube 3.0 – WPF Web Browser” sample, as mentioned. I don’t know why, but maybe if I discover the reason, I will be nearer to use Awesomium with tuenti.com…
Sorry for my english, by the way.

I’m not very sure of what do you refer to. I have tried the sample TabBrowser sample, for example, and does not work on tuenti.com. Also tried AwesomiumSharp, without success, what do you exactly refer with “c# wrapper that’s not included with Awesomium”. Thanks a lot for your fast response!

I think you read wrong.
Chris wrote “c# wrapper that’s NOW included with Awesomium”. He meant the official wrapper that you have already tried.
Anyway, did you try Troymium(http://www.troydesign.it/blog/?p=35) too?
Incoming beta5 got a lot of news! I’m waiting for their download manager… awesome!
There is no documentation but the wpf example is pretty understandable.
I’m using it and i can use tuenti.com. I just see a message that says my browser is old but i think it’s because of Troymium user-agent (but you will able to change it in the incoming beta 5).
Bye Bye

Hey, thank you for your comment. At the end I managed to make Awesomium work in tuenti.com with some tweaks thanks to the Awesomium support, and also tried Troymium and get it to work!
I nave compared them and they seem to be pretty similar in rendering and performance. Now I have to choose one of them. Which one will you choose?

Hey, There different features between them and you should choose is the one you think is better in your application.
I chose Troymium because they solved all my requests.
Incoming v2 is based on chromium 13 and that is great!

I read the awesomium news, it is said it support the HTML5. I download the sample fromhttp://awesomium.com/download/,
when I try the sample(AwesomiumSharp, TabbedBrowserSample, WinFormsSample), find it can’t browser the HTML 5 content. My test website is the apple HTML5 showcase. the url is
http://www.apple.com/html5/, when I try its demo, it will popup the error message:
You’ll need to download safari to view this demo.
Can you tell me how to support the HTML5 in AwesomiumSharp? thanks.
but I try your WPF Chromium Browser control, find it can browser some HTML5 content for apple html5 showcase. Can you tell me how to solve it? thanks.

tszzp – Did you try the Awesomium support site? (http://support.awesomium.com/). They’ll probably be able to give a lot more help…
