The old .NET WebBrowser only supports up to IE 11. It also seems that MS will not be updating it to use Edge anytime soon. If you are on Windows 10, the WebView control WILL use Edge.
I would like to develop an application that is NOT a windows store app, just a regular old Windows installer. Can I do this and use a WebView (to get Edge behavior as opposed to IE)? Or is a WebView somehow locked down to only windows store apps?
Ideally I'd like to conditionally use a WebBrowser on old versions of Windows (7), and WebView on newer (10+) with a single application.
The Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.WebView is supported in Windows Store apps only. It will not function in a Windows desktop app.
