c# - Upgrading WebBrowser class into WebView class in winforms application

Question

In my winforms application, I used WebBrowser class which is using IE browser. I want to update it into WebView class so that I can use Edge browser. That's why I installed packages Microsoft.Toolkit.Forms.UI.Controls.WebView. Then I changed some existing code which is compatible with WebView. But when I ran the project, I found the below errors after installing that package.

The item "C:Projectswindows-v2packagesSystem.Runtime.WindowsRuntime.4.6.0uild et461.... ef etstandard2.0System.Runtime.WindowsRuntime.dll" in item list "ReferencePath" does not define a value for metadata "CopyLocal". In order to use this metadata, either qualify it by specifying %(ReferencePath.CopyLocal), or ensure that all items in this list define a value for this metadata.

Answer 1

To use a WebViewCompatible control in a Windows Forms application:

1. Install package Microsoft.Toolkit.Forms.UI.Controls.WebView
2. Right click on an empty area in Toolbox → select Choose Items → From the Choose Toolbox Items → choose .NET Framework Component tab → Click on Browse → Browse the package folder and choose Microsoft.Toolkit.Forms.UI.Controls.WebView dll → Click Open → Click OK
3. Drop an instance of WebViewCompatible control on the form.

4. In the Load event or in constructor after InitializeComponent add code to navigate to the address you want:

   webViewCompatible1.Navigate("https://www.google.com");
