I've seen a few COM controls which wrap the Gecko rendering engine (GeckoFX, as well as the control shipped by Mozilla - mozctlx.dll). Is there a wrapper for Webkit that can be included in a .NET Winform application?

I've just release a pre-alpha version of CefSharp my .Net bindings for the Chromium Embedded Framework.
Check it out and give me your thoughts: https://github.com/chillitom/CefSharp (binary libs and example available in the downloads page)
update: Released a new version, includes the ability to bind C# objects into the DOM and more.
update 2: no-longer alpha, lib is used in real world projects including Facebook Messenger for Windows, Rdio's Windows client and Github for Windows

Sadly, it's Windows-only. – cubuspl42 Oct 17 '15 at 13:53

@cubuspl42 checkout the CefGlue project which can run cross-platform as it uses P/Invoke instead of C++/CLI for its interop. – chillitom Oct 20 '15 at 08:08

2020 and CefSharp is still maintained. That is a big win. – Jason Foglia Feb 27 '20 at 16:42

Haven't tried yet but found WebKit.NET on SourceForge. It was moved to GitHub.
Warning: Not maintained anymore, last commits are from early 2013

2This project is no longer maintained -- I couldn't get anything to compile under Visual Studio 2012, nor does it have an up-to-date implementation of WebKit. – Elad Nava Oct 15 '15 at 11:46

There's a WebKit-Sharp component on Mono's GitHub Repository. I can't find any web-viewable documentation on it, and I'm not even sure if it's WinForms or GTK# (can't grab the source from here to check at the moment), but it's probably your best bet, either way.

I was unsuccessful trying to get this to build on Windows a few weeks ago, but would be interested if someone else could get this to build. – Adam Hughes Sep 27 '08 at 00:54

Berkelium is a C++ tool for making chrome embeddable.
AwesomiumDotNet is a wrapper around both Berkelium and Awesomium
BTW, the link here to Awesomium appears to be more current.

There's a WebKit-Sharp component on Mono's Subversion Server. I can't find any web-viewable documentation on it, and I'm not even sure if it's WinForms or GTK# (can't grab the source from here to check at the moment), but it's probably your best bet, either way.
I think this component is CLI wrapper around webkit for Ubuntu. So this wrapper most likely could be not working on win32
Try check another variant - project awesomium - wrapper around google project "Chromium" that use webkit. Also awesomium has features like to should interavtive web pages on 3D objects under WPF

I was able to do this using CefSharp (which uses chromium browser).
Here are a couple posts that show this in action:

There is OpenWebKitSharp, a fork of WebKit.NET 0.5 and very advanced. Details: http://code.google.com/p/open-webkit-sharp/

The Windows version of Qt 4 includes both WebKit and classes to create ActiveX components. It probably isn't an ideal solution if you aren't already using Qt though.
