.NET & Awesomium

[DanDixon]

• Has anyone used Awesomium with a .NET language?
• Has the developer considered adding a wrapper to allow .NET support (C# or VB.NET)?

I've never used .NET before but I am familiar with C#-- I'll consider creating a C# wrapper for Awesomium in the future.

I started it this afternoon, I will let you know of my progress. I will try to integrate Awesomium with XNA and Windows Forms.

That would be great. I can almost promise that this would be used in a released product if you added this support.

I've written a space simulator called Universe Sandbox.

For my help and menu system I'm currently rendering webpages with the .NET web browser component, but my technique for generating the page texture is far from ideal (and very slow). I'd love to replace that with this.

Please do. I'd love to get this working in my project.

Just a FYI.

I have started such a wrapper myself for a project that involved integrating a web browser within Media Center. The wrapper is a little messy right now but I can release it once it's cleaned up but in general such a wrapper is straightforward. Things are a little more complicating when it comes to marshalling the bitmap data and more complex structures but the rest is quite straightforward...

That's great. I'm looking forward to ripping out my hacky web page implementation for something much more reliable.

I look forward to your release.

Will try to clean it up and release it once the project is done. Probably in a few weeks.

Right now the wrapper is limited to what I need from the libraries but completing it should be straightforward.

is this possible to use in a APS.NET project?
for example, I want to have a 3D browser when someone viewing a homepage? possible?

i think you're mixing up technologies. awesomium allows a browser to be more seemlessly integrated inside a 3d engine, not the other way around. this thread is about compiling it using .net framework, not converting the project to ASP.NET

but i guess O3D and html canvas opengl implementation is going that way, still going to take a couple years though. some reference urls:

How are the .NET wrappers coming along? It'd be great to use it in my 3D WPF browser: http://chriscavanagh.wordpress.com/2008/09/04/youcube/
