DotNetBrowser

Note: Advice in this article will only work for DotNetBrowser 1. See the corresponding C# and VB.NET examples for DotNetBrowser 2.

DotNetBrowser is compatible with Selenium WebDriver. To use Selenium with DotNetBrowser, perform the following steps:

1. Download ChromeDriver using NuGet packages: Selenium.WebDriver and Selenium.WebDriver.ChromeDrive.

2. Run the DotNetBrowser application  with the --remote-debugging-port switcher as shown in the Remote Debugging article.

3. Create Selenium WebDriver and use the remote debugging port (9222) from the previous step to connect to the DotNetBrowser application.
