Hello, I am using CEF from few days. Browser works perfectly, but can not use CefDOMDocument class. Do I have to add other references other than cefsharp.dll, cefsharp.core.dll ?

Not supported. `CEF` DOM API is considered deprecated and won't be implemented in `CefSharp`.

You can use a combination of JavaScript binding and `EvaluateScriptAsync` to do most things. See the FAQ for some examples.

If you absolutely must have access to the `DOM API` then `CefGlue` might be a better fit for you.

Hook the `NavStateChanged` event, when it's finished loading (the event args has an `IsLoading` property) execute your javascript as per normal.
