[MonoDevelop] cant get WebBrowser/Gecko-sharp/Webkit-Sharp to show up in monodevelop 2.4 on ubuntu 10.10 64bit

[Derek JW Cahusac de Caux]

Hi Marc

This might help - as an exercise, I've written a simple RSS news feed 
reader that will display the web page for the news item - code snippets 
as below:

My Monodevelop project has 3 bits of code

1) Main.cs which just invokes RSSreader;

2) then, in RSSreader.cs this code:


using WebKit;

namespace myRSS


// then in whatever method you want to invoke the browser:

             // view webpage for news item (or 'home' page for this RSS 
feed)
             ErrorMessageLabel.Text = "";
             if (Active_GUID != "") {
                 // invoke the WebKit browser view (cool!)
                 new NewsWebView (Active_GUID);
             } else {
                 ErrorMessageLabel.Text = "no GUID url associated with 
this item";
             }


3) and in NewsWebView.cs the complete code is:

using System;
using Gtk;
using WebKit;

namespace myRSS
{
     public partial class NewsWebView : Gtk.Window
     {
         public NewsWebView (string GUIDurl) : base(Gtk.WindowType.Toplevel)
         {
             this.Build ();

             // System.Console.WriteLine("GUID url is : " + GUIDurl + "<<");

             WebView webView = new WebView ();
             webView.Open (GUIDurl);
             WebViewScrolledWindow.Add (webView);
             this.ShowAll ();
         }
     }
}

That's it. And, of course, as I think you've figured out, you need to 
add Webkit to your project's References and you need to design a simple 
GUI (scrolled) window for the code that actually calls Webkit.

Cheers, Derek
