If you’re building an application that intends to use the Web Browser control for a live preview of some HTML this is clearly undesirable.

But the default IE 7 mode doesn't recognize many of these settings resulting in a terrible render mode. behave differently by default, even though there’s a CSS reset applied on this page. Not only are the new CSS features missing but the page also renders in Internet Explorer’s quirks mode so all the margins, padding etc.

Obviously the latter rendering using the Web Browser control in a WPF application is a bit lacking.

Even though we're now up to IE 11 and a reasonably HTML5 compatible browser, the Web Browser Control always uses the IE 7 rendering engine by default. The Web Browser Control allows for an effective way to display HTML in your applications in a way that blends in and becomes part of your application.īut there's a snag: The Web Browser Control is - by default - perpetually stuck in IE 7 rendering mode.

Even in desktop applications, is often way easier than using labels or edit boxes or even some of the WPF text containers. Whether you're just rendering document content, or you're interacting with rich interactive content, HTML happens to be one of the most common document formats to display or interact with and it makes a wonderful addition to conventional forms based UI. For example Markdown Monster, Help Builder and WebSurge rely heavily on the Web Browser Control to render their document centric or even rich interactive UI (in the case of Markdown Monster which hosts an HTML editor).
