Html Rendering in WinformsI am facing a problem with the rendering of html into a windows application (C# .NET). I am trying with two possible approaches: 1. Use a control that directly renders the html into windows form, but it should not be dependent on IE or mshtml. I didn't get such kind of control so far. Can any one help on this? 2. Use a third party Html to Rtf converter and render the rtf in windows .net RichTextBox. But this also creating problem while rendering html tables. This is distorting the table structure and complex formatting into table cell. Colspan and rowspan are not working and many more... Again this problem is solved after we put RICHED20.DLL in the application directory. But we can ship RICHED20.DLL along with our product as its a microsoft dll comes with MS office package. What could be possible solution for this? Can any one please help me out to resolve this problem. - Ramesh Consider using IE ActiveX. Creating a HTML renderer is quite complex and do
not believe you will be able to create a custom browser without a very huge amount of works. I think relying on the WebBrowser control is a good choice for the future (if your app will remain in a windows environment) since MS will support this class for many years ahead. So I wonder what is your need for developping a custom html renderer ...

performance issue. I had already tried web browser control but its really slow to render as it is not meant only for rendering html but url navigation, javascript and lots of more thing. In our application we typically need 4-10 such control on a single form to render diiferent html. - Ramesh Steve B. wrote: Show quote > Consider using IE ActiveX.
