CefSharp how to rename and embed BrowserSubProcess.exe

Question

iam quite desperate here. I couldn't find any example code for this in C#. I want to rename BrowserSubProcess.exe and i want it to embed my main exe, if possible.

I am aware of this solution;

Rename CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess winforms

but i couldn't implemented it. I need sample program or code to understand. I hope @amaitland will see this and helps me.

Answer 1

I embed the BrowserSubProcess Program.cs to my Program.cs so it is embedded now.

static class Program
{
    /// <summary>
    /// The main entry point for the application.
    /// </summary>
    [STAThread]
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        if (args.Count() < 5)
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Application.Run(new LoginForm());
        }
        else
        {
            MyBrowserSubProcess(args);
        }
    }

    static int MyBrowserSubProcess(string[] args)
    {
        Debug.WriteLine("BrowserSubprocess starting up with command line: " + String.Join("\n", args));

        SubProcess.EnableHighDPISupport();

        int result;
        var type = args.GetArgumentValue(CefSharpArguments.SubProcessTypeArgument);

        var parentProcessId = -1;

        // The Crashpad Handler doesn't have any HostProcessIdArgument, so we must not try to
        // parse it lest we want an ArgumentNullException.
        if (type != "crashpad-handler")
        {
            parentProcessId = int.Parse(args.GetArgumentValue(CefSharpArguments.HostProcessIdArgument));
            if (args.HasArgument(CefSharpArguments.ExitIfParentProcessClosed))
            {
                Task.Factory.StartNew(() => AwaitParentProcessExit(parentProcessId), TaskCreationOptions.LongRunning);
            }
        }

        // Use our custom subProcess provides features like EvaluateJavascript
        if (type == "renderer")
        {
            var wcfEnabled = args.HasArgument(CefSharpArguments.WcfEnabledArgument);
            var subProcess = wcfEnabled ? new WcfEnabledSubProcess(parentProcessId, args) : new SubProcess(args);

            using (subProcess)
            {
                result = subProcess.Run();
            }
        }
        else
        {
            result = SubProcess.ExecuteProcess();
        }

        Debug.WriteLine("BrowserSubprocess shutting down.");

        return result;
    }

    private static async void AwaitParentProcessExit(int parentProcessId) 
    {
        try 
        {
            var parentProcess = Process.GetProcessById(parentProcessId);
            parentProcess.WaitForExit();
        }
        catch (Exception e) 
        {
            //main process probably died already
            Debug.WriteLine(e);
        }

        await Task.Delay(1000); //wait a bit before exiting

        Debug.WriteLine("BrowserSubprocess shutting down forcibly.");

        Environment.Exit(0);
    }

}

And my BrowserSubprocessPath is my main exe.

settings.BrowserSubprocessPath = System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.FriendlyName;
