I'm trying to create a user control with a CefSharp to be able to have a web browser with custom properties. The control works fine except when I try to add the control to a WebForms app with the Graphic Designer, every time I try to add the control graphically I get the same error:
Failed to create the component 'MyComponent'
System.IO.FilenotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'CefSharp.Core, Version=65.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxxxxxxxxxxx' or one of its dependencies. the system cannot find the file specified.
I have the CefSharp.Core added as a reference on both the Usercontrol and the WebFormsApp.
(Note that the control works if it is added programmatically.)
Anyone know what I'm missing?
Edit 1:
Here is the code of the user control that I have created:
using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using CefSharp.WinForms;
using CefSharp;
namespace ControlTest
{
public partial class UserControl1: UserControl
{
public ChromiumWebBrowser browser;
public UserControl1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void UserControl1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CefSettings settings = new CefSettings();
Cef.Initialize();
browser = new ChromiumWebBrowser("www.google.com");
this.panel1.Controls.Add(browser);
}
}
}
Finally, thanks to amaitland, I figured out how to make it work. I only needed to avoid creating the component on design time, so I checked if I am in design time:
if (LicenseManager.UsageMode != LicenseUsageMode.Designtime)
InitializeComponent();
This way the component is only created when in runtime.
