Summary

A mix of Google's Chromium project, a free for non-commercial use wrapper called Awesomium, and some WPF code that provides a web browser control implementation which doesn't suffer the WPF "airspace" issues occurring in the standard Microsoft WebBrowser control.

Excerpt

"Being able to render and interact with webpages within WPF opens up some great opportunities. While WPF already includes a WebBrowser, it’s just a wrapper around IE’s ActiveX control. Unfortunately this prevents it playing nicely with WPF’s layout system. Mixing Google’s Chromium project, a great wrapper called Awesomium and a little WPF pixie dust, we finally have one."
