Which DLL or component is needed for doing what ?

[Dita A Subrata]

I saw GitHub for Windows just use libcef.dll, icudt.dll, locales folder, and resources folder. I just want to use to designing html. Which dll or folder should I include in my project ?

[anthony taranto]

I am not clear on what you mean by "designing html". CefSharp provides either a WPF or WinForms browser control that you can embed in your Windows application.

At minimum, you will need to place the following files in the same directory as your .exe (or otherwise configure your application to load them):

- libcef.dll
- icudt.dll
- CefSharp.dll
- One of the following 2 dlls: CefSharp.WinForms.dll OR CefSharp.WPF.dll

You then need to initialize CEF with "PackLoadingDisabled = true", using code similar to the following:

var settings = new CefSharp.Settings
{
    PackLoadingDisabled = true,
};
if (CEF.Initialize(settings))
{
    // instantiate your WebView here
}

If you want to enable chromium's developer tools, you will need to add these files and set PackLoadingDisabled = false (which is the default value):

- chrome.pak
- locales (directory. must contain en-US.pak at minimum)

The following files are optional and are used for audio, video, and WebGL:

- avcodec-54.dll
- avformat-54.dll
- avutil-51.dll
- libEGL.dll
- libGLESv2.dll

Please I still need clarification on how to go about this

[anthony taranto]

What specifically do you not understand? In the simplest case, you
need to place some or all of these files/folders in the same directory
as your .exe before running your .exe.

I have not been able to create a windows application with cef, the app crashes during debugging and it does not lunch at all.

[anthony taranto]

Sounds like you don't have the correct files in place. Are you
building from git master or using the binary release download?

[richard Boyewa]

I am using binaries.

[anthony taranto]

Can you please paste a listing of the files and the folders in the
directory that contains the .exe you are tring to run?

[richard Boyewa]

CefSharp.dll
CefSharp.WinForm.dll

[anthony taranto]

Please read this message carefully: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/cefsharp/sgQY_9omyd4/mRQYSCEPePkJ

At minimum, you will also need libcef.dll and libicudt.dll in that directory, and set PackLoadingDisabled = true.

[richard Boyewa]

Where can I put the code below?

You then need to initialize CEF with "PackLoadingDisabled = true", using code similar to the following:

var settings = new CefSharp.Settings
{
    PackLoadingDisabled = true,
};
if (CEF.Initialize(settings))
{
    // instantiate your WebView here
}

 I got it working :D

[anthony taranto]

I always believed in you.

[richard Boyewa]

Thanks a billion times. Do you have any info on indexedDB?

[Michael DeRosa]

How did you get this working? I tried following these steps and get a crash everytime I try using anything from the CefSharp dll. 

"An unhandled exception of type 'System.Windows.Markup.XamlParseException' occurred in PresentationFramework.dll

Additional information: 'The invocation of the constructor on type 'DerosmCefSharpTest.MainWindow' that matches the specified binding constraints threw an exception.' Line number '3' and line position '9'."

[anthony taranto]

That's pretty clearly a problem with your xaml. Are you trying to add the browser control in xaml? If so, try adding it from code and see if that works.

The xaml doesn't have any references to CefSharp. In mainwindow.xaml.cs I added the following code to MainWindow()

var settings = new CefSharp.Settings

            {

                PackLoadingDisabled = true,

            };

            if (CEF.Initialize(settings))

            {

                WebView view = new WebView();

                mainGrid.Children.Add(view);

            }

Code crashes when that is in place, but runs fine when that is removed (app runs and displays the blank window since there's no other ui in place).

[anthony taranto]

What files do you have in your ouput/exe directory?

[Michael DeRosa]

In bin/debug I have:

CefSharp.dll

CefSharp.Wpf.dll

icudt.dll

libcef.dll 

 

All taken from CefSharp-0.12.7z

[anthony taranto]

Those appear to be the correct files. I'm not sure what your problem is.

[Michael DeRosa]

Would it help if I uploaded a zip of the project?

[Michael DeRosa]

I was able to get another test project running, where I implemented several of the files from CesSharp.Example. I was under the impression that this isn't necessary though. Is that the case?

Also I was getting errors about mixed mode assembly, but this seemed to fix the issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6425707/mixed-mode-assembly-is-built-against-version-v2-0-50727-of-the-runtime

Also I noticed in a test project posted in this group that they initialize the view from App.xaml.cs and not MainWindow.xaml.cs. I tried doing that in my first sample app (the one without implementing CesSharp.Example) and am now getting errors abouta bad image format.

An unhandled exception of type 'System.BadImageFormatException' occurred in DerosmCefSharpTest.exe

Additional information: Could not load file or assembly 'CefSharp, Version=0.12.4596.50, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.

Strange...

[anthony taranto]

I don't understand what you mean when you say this: "I implemented several of the files from CesSharp.Example"

--Anthony

[Michael DeRosa]

I didn't want to have to use CesSharp.Example.dll as the test project posted in this group used. So I copied/slightly changed implementations of BoundObject, ExamplePresenter, and IExampleView.

[Mat]

Hi i am also facing the same problem . Did you able to solve it ?? please explain how you overcomes this error?

[Michael DeRosa]

Check out this site: http://labs.awesomium.com/using-awesomiumsharp/

They have a similar set of instructions to CefSharp and it actually helped verify what I had been doing to get this to work. Some of the issues they talk about are common to chromium (making sure you set the project properties of the DLLs to copy to output directory). 

Other than that, if you can get one of the test projects working, you can get a better idea of how CefSharp works. From there you can modify and play around with it to get what you need.

[Per Lundberg]

FWIW: I added a new wiki page for a FAQ, where I listed this question ("what files are needed to run a CefSharp-based app"). You may find it here:
