Where's the CefSharp DLL that includes the "IWebBrowser" type?

I'm porting my app from Microsoft Edge WebView2 to CefSharp because of the extension support, however for some reason, IWebBrowser seems to be placed in a DLL that is either hidden or not installed.

I've added the xaml namespace and the ChromiumWebBrowser control. What should I do and where is the missing DLL?

Visual Studio suggested I install the CefSharp.Common NuGet package, which I did, but that never added the DLL or the reference to it.

It also said I should add a reference to a DLL, but I don't know where it is.

Solution

  • Visual Studio suggested I install the CefSharp.Common NuGet package, which I did, but that never added the DLL or the reference to it.

    Visual Studio was spot on when it suggested CefSharp.Common. IWebBrowser is part of CefSharp.dll which comes packaged in CefSharp.Common.

    You can browser the package online at https://nuget.info/packages/CefSharp.Common/120.2.70 where you can see it's in the \lib\net462 folder as you'd expect.
