Setup

Windows

1. Make sure your project targets the Windows-specific TFM to support WinForms/WPF components:

<TargetFramework>net9.0-windows</TargetFramework>
<UseWindowsForms>true</UseWindowsForms>

• or you can add this to your csproj

<PropertyGroup Condition="'$(OS)' == 'Windows_NT'">
    <UseWindowsForms>true</UseWindowsForms>
    <TargetFramework>net9.0-windows</TargetFramework>
</PropertyGroup>

3. Then you can add the WebView in your .axaml:

<awv:WebView Url="https://www.github.com"/>

Note

• Example project: Sample Windows project .csproj
• Example usage in XAML: MainView.axaml

Linux

1. Ensure the following native dependencies are installed:

# libgtk-3 and libwebkit2gtk
sudo pacman -Syu gtk3 webkit2gtk

2. Target plain net9.0 in your .csproj:

<TargetFramework>net9.0</TargetFramework>

3. Add the WebView in your XAML the same way:

<awv:WebView Url="https://www.github.com"/>

Android

1. Target net9.0-android in your .csproj.
2. No additional setup is required; permissions are declared in the Android manifest.
3. Usage in XAML is the same as above.

Notes

• This project started as side project of my bigger project, so it might not be perfect.
• The control automatically picks the correct platform implementation.
• WindowsForms is required only for Windows. Using it on Linux/macOS will fail at build time.
• If you found any issues, or want some features to add, please report them on the Issues page.
