The WebViewControl is similar to the WebView class, but it is designed to run out of process in a desktop application (such as a WPF or Windows Forms application) and it supports a smaller set of members. These controls wrap an instance of the WebViewControl class, and they provide a subset of members from that class. (You can find additional related types (such as event args classes) in the. namespace.)

Here's where to find the Windows Forms and Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) versions of the Microsoft Edge WebView control: Framework This control uses the Microsoft Edge rendering engine (EdgeHTML) to embed a view that renders richly formatted HTML5 content from a remote web server, dynamically generated code, or content files. For more information, see UWP controls in desktop applications.

This is one of several wrapped Universal Windows Platform controls that are available for Windows Forms and WPF applications. The WebView control shows web content in your Windows Forms or WPF desktop application. If you would like to give feedback directly for WebView2, you can do so here on the Edge repository. WebView has been replaced by WebView2 therefore, you are advised to now use WebView2 instead.
