[Mono-devel-list] Windows Forms 2 - WebBrowser control

[Andrew Sklyarevsky]

The point is not in the possibility to embed Gecko, but in the
cross-platform way to do it. For example, if I will use 
Gecko# control, it will work in Mono on any OS, but will not work in .NET on
Windows without a special installation
of Gtk#, but if both of the frameworks (.NET and Mono) will have
implementation of System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser
Control, which is already included in .NET 2.0 Beta 2, we'll can develop
cross-platform applications with embedding of 
HTML rendering engine without any headache about using of IE ActiveX element
or Gecko#.

There is such a control in .net 1.1 too. It's a wrapper of IE. I have found
an Mozilla/Gecko ActiveX control which can be used from .net
here:

Never tried it, but looks like a way to go :)
