The WPF WebBrowser control was introduced in WPF 3.5 SP1 (August 2008). It supports rendering HTML from an in-memory string or Stream, as well as interactively with the HTML DOM and its script. You can also host Silverlight content by giving it URL that pints to a Silverlight file (.xap). WebBrowser is not a content control meaning that it cannot directly contain any WPF elements.

Here’s what WPF Tutorial says: “WPF comes with a ready to use WebBrowser control, which allows you to host a complete web browser within your application. The WebBrowser control is really just a shell around an ActiveX version of Internet Explorer, but since this is an integrated part of Windows, your application should work on all Windows machines without requiring the installation of additional components.”.

Below is the only slightly modified code from the website WPF Tutorial.

<Window x:Class="WebBrowserControl.MainWindow"

            </Button>
            <Button Command="NavigationCommands.BrowseForward">
               Foreward
            </Button>

            <TextBox Name="txtUrl" Width="440" KeyUp="txtUrl_KeyUp" />
            <Button Command="NavigationCommands.GoToPage">
                Go
            </Button>
        </ToolBar>
        <WebBrowser Name="wbSample" Navigating="wbSample_Navigating"></WebBrowser>
    </DockPanel>
</Window>

Below is the code below.

using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Input;

namespace WebBrowserControl
{
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            wbSample.Navigate("https://begincodingnow.com");
        }
        private void txtUrl_KeyUp(object sender, KeyEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Key == Key.Enter)
                wbSample.Navigate(txtUrl.Text);
        }
        private void wbSample_Navigating(object sender, System.Windows.Navigation.NavigatingCancelEventArgs e)
        {
            txtUrl.Text = e.Uri.OriginalString;
        }
        private void BrowseBack_CanExecute(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            e.CanExecute = ((wbSample != null) && (wbSample.CanGoBack));
        }
        private void BrowseBack_Executed(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            wbSample.GoBack();
        }
        private void BrowseForward_CanExecute(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            e.CanExecute = ((wbSample != null) && (wbSample.CanGoForward));
        }
        private void BrowseForward_Executed(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            wbSample.GoForward();
        }
        private void GoToPage_CanExecute(object sender, CanExecuteRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            e.CanExecute = true;
        }
        private void GoToPage_Executed(object sender, ExecutedRoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            wbSample.Navigate(txtUrl.Text);
        }
