amaitland ac87ce9b5a Enable crash reporting by default
- Set CopyToOutputDirectory in csproj files
- It's important to make sure the crash_reporter.cfg is copied to the bin folder, it has to be next to your application exe.
- Specify AppName in crash_reporter.cfg to have dumps generated to a folder in this case they will be generated at C:\Users\[CurrentUser]\AppData\Local\CefSharp.MinimalExample\User Data
- If you are having trouble getting a dump, run your exe outside of Visual Studio, the debugger can sometimes interfere

You can test crash reporting as outlined in https://bitbucket.org/chromiumembedded/cef/wiki/CrashReporting.md#markdown-header-testing
Loading `chrome://crash` in the browser will crash the render process

To confirm that crash reporting is enabled check the debug.log file, you should see a number of entries like Crash reporting enabled for process: browser

CefSharp.MinimalExample

Minimal example of how the CefSharp library can be used using the official Nuget packages with .NET Framework projects (CefSharp.MinimalExample.sln) and .NET Core projects (CefSharp.MinimalExample.netcore.sln).

Includes examples for

  • WinForms
  • WPF
  • OffScreen

For a more complete example of each project see the main CefSharp repository.

.NET Core support

As of version 75.1.142, the CefSharp NuGet packages can be used with .NET Core 3.0 projects (as shown by the examples). However, the current versions have some limitations that you should be aware of:

  • The target machine still needs to have .NET Framework 4.5.2 or higher installed, as the CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe is still used.
  • The project file needs to update the references of CefSharp.WinForms/CefSharp.WPF/CefSharp.OffScreen, as well as CefSharp.Core and CefSharp to use <Private>true</Private>, as otherwise the CoreCLR would not load these libraries as they would not be specified in the .deps.json file.
  • When publishing a self-contained app using a runtime identifier win-x64 or win-x86, you need to set the Platform property to x64 or x86; as otherwise it would be AnyCPU and the check in the .targets file of the NuGet package would fail.
    Example:
    • x86: dotnet publish -f netcoreapp3.0 -r win-x86 -p:Platform=x86
    • x64: dotnet publish -f netcoreapp3.0 -r win-x64 -p:Platform=x64

It is possible to publish the application as single EXE file by adding -p:PublishSingleFile=true.
