For what UI library? WPF? System.Windows.Form? Anything else? Such components do exist, just search for them.

There is no such thing as "ordinary application". I observed your posts for so long time; you could learn how to ask proper questions long time ago.

This is not "basic application", this is System.Windows.Forms application. I asked about it above, but you did not answer.

You know what? Why wouldn't you do the search now and find the component you need. I started to look for the one for you, but lost interest after seeing your replies. I would spend time but not sure that you would use my answer. You can do the search exactly as anyone else can.

Thank for ur reply,if u search web browser control with default browser,lot of users write java script and css reduce the performance.so look for other browser embedded in web browser control, i have face problem java script ,if open in IE,chrome or Mozilla it work fine,but if try to open inside visual studio lot of java script error show,that same error appear when we use default web browser control.so need some other browser embedded.i am looking in System.Windows.Forms application,i don't know,if specify advanced concept in windows application then we specify wcf,wpf,silver light.Anyway pls solve my problem.bcz in IE i got same error,so need to use some other browser.

Such components do exist. Look at Mozilla ActiveX control (wrapper). What's the problem?

The webbrowser control is provided by Microsoft as part of their development library. If you wish to use a different control then you need to go to Google or Mozilla and check out what they make available.

With System.Windows.Forms, you can use any ActiveX control. Therefore, you can use Mozilla ActiveX control: http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/control.htm[^].

As to Chrome, we should talk not about Chrome or Chromium, but WebKit layout engine:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_%28web_browser%29[^],
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebKit[^].

This open-source project is WebKit for .NET: http://sourceforge.net/projects/webkitdotnet[^].

Please ask the author of this article. Or fix it by yourself. I did not do it; WebBrowser component was enough for me. Remember one of my comments to the question: "I started to look for the one for you, but lost interest after seeing your replies. I would spend time but not sure that you would use my answer." Now you probably can understand why did I write so. :-)
