I have a .NET 4.6.1 WinForm application. I want to display a react app inside a browser component.

I can display most web pages in the browser without error, but when I navigate to a react app I get an error.

I've been able to do it using the "dotnetbrowser" library developed by "teamdev" which implements Chromium in the WinForm.

Questions: Why does the browser component throw errors when navigating to a react app?

Should I be attempting to get Chromium to work in the WinForm browser?

  • The WinForms browser is an extremely old version of Internet Explorer. I'm not surprised, at all, that ReactJs doesn't work there – Camilo Terevinto Oct 18 '18 at 22:34

Are you actually using that library (dotnetbrowser)? If you are using WebBrowser control, It is actually Internet Explorer. On this case, you should add meta tag to page on header like

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

to change rendering mode of internet explorer to force most recent version of it.

or try other libraries, like CEFSharp. and open dev tool, see what error happend.

Chromium based webview controls should contain itself chrome; I think you don't need to download standalone chrome.
