Hello everyone, I've been working with C# for a while now, and I've started to make my own browsers, so I wanted to share this with all of you, I can make a favorites bar, search bar and any other a thing a browser today has, but I'll make one that is specialized for you, you pick the images, text colors and more to fit your style or internet viewing. The picture I have provided is of a sample browser I made, and by sample, you can change everything!!

I think he means that all you're really doing is implementing the Windows API standard web browsing component, so there's little work being done.

That's pretty cool! That's way more than I can do in C# (and it will probably remain that way, as I can't seem to "get it"). Good job!

You've simply embedded IE on another window, in effect. Its more a shell for IE than a browser

@David R-No I did not embed this IE on another window, I made it using c#.

@Anrew T-Thank you for clearing that up for me, and that's not what I'm doing.

CoffeeCoder-Thank you! If you would like one just post

If you used the web browser component, this is precisely what you've done.

It seems incredibly unlikely that you handcrafted a page renderer etc. in C#

Actually, I use visual C# 2008 express.

Anyone who wants a browser, please post.

Am I the only one who doesn't see a connection between these two statements?

There's nothing wrong with what you're doing, and it's a good way to learn about C#, and I have no intention of putting you down or discouraging you. But you have to be careful, especially on a forum full of geeks, that you don't take credit for something you really didn't do. All you've done is use the browser component and put it on a form with a few commands to navigate around, etc.

You didn't really create a browser. To truly create a browser, you would need to start off by sending/receiving HTTP codes. Then when you get the raw data, you'd need to parse it and create a rendering engine so that the HTML, Javascript, CSS, etc., would look like it was intended. You'd need to handle things such as form postings, HTTP redirects, cookies, session variables, and a much larger list of things than I'd like to go into right now.

Edit: This is totally in good humor, but can you please fix the compliance issues that IE has with CSS (and many other issues). Thanks.

does it really matter what I used? I mean, they're free anyway, so it doesn't matter as long as the outcome is satisfactory

What if I made a program that accepts a text file and sends it to the MSVC++ compiler? I could call it my own compiler, and say that I made it all by myself, when in reality all I'm doing is implementing a much larger and more complex technology. Yes, it works, and yes, it's free, but what's the point in posting it if so little work has gone into it, and all it's doing is wrapping a technology that's available for free as well?

I think you misunderstand.

The browser component in C# is powered by Internet Explorer.

Anything programmed using that component is not programming a 'web browser' it is programming a 'shell for a web browser'.

Programming a web browser is very different to programming a shell for a web browser. A web browser from scratch is extremely complex and isn't normally a 1 man job.

There is nothing wrong with what you are doing. Just so long as you understand the difference.

nice job no clue if u made a shell or not, but it looks good and that is all that matters, and it would be a good idea to make a website or something and post downloads for some of them, and actualy my forum just started and could use some members and posts if you want to sign up (forum adress in my sig). but you could make a few, use an install creator, upload to a site, and make updates for past browsers, it could turn into something big
