using Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.HTMLUI;

[Bob]

Why am I not finding this assembly in the demo version of the software I downloaded on 8/9/2006. It does not show in my add a reference browse neither on 2005 VS. I can add a reference to Syncfusion.windows.forms, but the code will not find HTMLUIControl

using Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.HTMLUI;

Hi Bob,

Could you please let me know if you are able to find the Syncfusion.HTMLUI.Windows assembly in the following folders?

Precompiled assemblies folder:
C:\Program Files\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\4.2.0.37\precompiledassemblies\4.2.0.37\2.0

Public assemblies folder:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PublicAssemblies

GAC:
C:\Windows\Assembly

Please copy the assembly from the precompiled assemblies folder to the public assemblies folder and drag and drop it from the public assemblies folder in to the GAC.

Please try this and let me know if this helps.

Thank you,
Nanda

Having the same issue with VS 2022 .Net 6 on Windows 10. No HTMLUI control to be found. The above Syncfusion Directory does not exist either?

Hi Anthony,

As HTML UI is a classic control it cannot be found in toolbox, and we have unlisted the package in the nuget.org (NuGet Gallery | Syncfusion.HTMLUI.windows 20.1.0.51).

You can use the HTMLUI control by referencing the assemblies in the below location and adding codes in the code behind

C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\Windows\20.1.0.47\Windows\20.1.0.47\precompiledassemblies

Hi Gokul

Can you give a reason why this package is no longer listed? Is it depricated? Is it no longer under development? If so, what is the alternative?

Thank you very much for your feedback.

Hi Michael Hachen,

HtmlUI supports only basic elements, And we don’t have any plans to improve it since WebView exists as a better alternative.

Hi Raghavendra S

You mean  Introduction to Microsoft Edge WebView2 - Microsoft Edge Development | Microsoft Learn? Unfortunately this doesn't work with .NET Framework 4.0...

Hi Michael Hachen,

We suggest using the WebBrowser class, as it is compatible with the .NET Framework 4.0.

WebBrowser Class link: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.webbrowser?redirectedfrom=MSDN&view=windowsdesktop-7.0

Hi  Raghavendra

Yes, but this control is based on IE9 - so it is quite useless for html5 etc.

However, it is a pity that the control is not developed further.

Hi Michael Hachen,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused, as already said, currently we do not have any plans to improve HTMLUI control.

However, as a workaround, you can convert HTML to PDF and render it using pdf viewer.

Converting HTML to PDF | Syncfusion

Getting Started with WPF Pdf Viewer control | Syncfusion
