Quick Start

CefSharp is distributed as Nuget packages which can get installed in Visual Studio via the Nuget Package Manager. CefSharp is Windows only (a limitation of VC++ which CefSharp is built with).

To get started with CefSharp checkout the CefSharp.MinimalExample. There are basic working examples of the WinForms, WPF and OffScreen versions (c# only).

The General Usage Guide has details on many of the features currently available and is updated fairly regularly.
