c# - .net equivalent of htmlunit?

Question

Does anybody know if there is a .net equivalent of htmlunit or similar library?

I've heard that people have used IKVM to convert the htmlunit library. But I have also heard that the converted code is slow.

Requirements:

• Headless browser
• Support javascript
• Handle cookies
• .Net

You can try out the just-released NHtmlUnit (available on NuGet), which is a .NET-wrapper for HtmlUnit. It's not .NET as in "written in a .NET language and compiled to MSIL", but it's converted to .NET with IKVM and we've written a layer of "purified" C# code on top of it so everything looks and behaves like .NET.
