stevo_ said:I wouldn't get to excited, I don't think its going anywhere.. theres just a lot of work that needs to go into a browser.. writing one in .net would be interesting from an extensibility point (perhaps, but still less so interesting than extensions in say firefox- which are much more approachable).
But I don't really see otherwise why..
Paste the following into XAMLpad:
<Window
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300">
<Grid>
<Rectangle Width="40" Height="40" Fill="Beige" HorizontalAlignment="left"/>
<WebBrowser Margin="15" Source="http://channel9.msdn.com" />
<Rectangle Width="40" Height="40" Fill="AliceBlue" VerticalAlignment="top"/>
<Menu VerticalAlignment="Top">
<MenuItem Header="_File">
<MenuItem Header="_New"/>
<MenuItem Header="_Open"/>
<MenuItem Header="Close"/>
</MenuItem>
</Menu>
<Label VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center">This Text should should appear over the top of everything</Label>
</Grid>
</Window>
Notice how the webbrowser appears over the top of everything. It's a limitation of hosting a native control in a WPF application, which really limits the things you can acheive. A 100% WPF based managed webbrowser control would allow you to integrate HTML content in a much more natural and flexible way.
