I want to make an Internet Browser. I decided to use webkit.net.I found some steps on the internet on how to import webkit in visual basic.net. So I created a windows forms project, add the "WebKitBrowser.dll" reference to my project, also I added the webkitbrowser.dll to the toolbox, I draged it to my form but when I try to debug it, it shows the following error:"Failed to initialize activation context", "Ivalid Operation was unhandled", "Exception.InnerException".
What could I try to import webkit to vb.net?

Ask your question here[^].

It's extremely unlikely that anyone with any experience with Webkit.net is going to see your question here.

Go where there is the highest concentration of people who use a particular library. That's usually the site where the library came from.

You probably need a runtime for your webkit.net. If you cannot find a runtime, i suggest maybe if you have google chrome, you can make a google chrome clone. This means many times if you click on a link to download, it might open in google chrome.
hope this helps,

First you have to download the webkit zipped file and extract it. Copy all the files except the .exe to the bin folder of your solution. Then go to toolbox in visual studio and right click,then select choose items in the context menu.In the dialog that would appear,select browse and go to where u extracted ur files and select webkitwebbrowser.dll. Click ok and it would be added to your toolbox.

Try downloading the new WebKit.NET-0.5-bin-cairo then copy everything in the 'bin' folder and paste it into your project's bin/Debug folder.
After that browse the reference to the WebKitBrowser.dll and set it as a control as well

Add all the *.dll's and WebKitBrowser.dll.manifest except for the *.exe to ur debug folder. And if not working go to the project reference and make it "true" copy local.
