Any native .NET browser implementations?

[Brian Link]

Browser controls in my VB6 apps were workhorses. I haven't had much
luck with performance in the wrapped shdocvw, so I'm wondering if
anyone knows of M$ plans to implement a native browser for .NET? Or
has anyone else done this on their own?

Thanks

I'm not familiar with this M$ company. What do they do?

Hello Brian,

Thanks for your post. As I understand, the problem you are facing is that
the performance of Browser Control imported to .NET is poor. Please correct
me if there is any misunderstanding. I now share the following information
with you:

1. As you know, VB .NET application need to access the unmanaged COM
component via runtime callable wrapper (RCW). Based on my experience,
however, it does not affect the performance too much. There is a sample in
codeproject which also use the WebBrowser control in .NET, would you please
check its performance and compare with yours?

Using the WebBrowser control in .NET

COM Wrappers

2. For .NET Internet Explorer Control, there is a third-party party control

I look forward to your feedback.
