The name ChromiumWebBrowser does not exist in the namespace "clr-namespace:CefSharp.Wpf;assembly=CefSharp.Wpf"

Question

I had followed this link to implement CefSharp applicaton.

But I have stuck while coding MainWindow.xaml.

Blend for VS 2015 said,

The name ChromiumWebBrowser does not exist in the namespace "clr-namespace:CefSharp.Wpf;assembly=CefSharp.Wpf"

But I'm installed CefSharp.Common and CefSharp.Wpf v51.0.0, cef.redist.x64 and cef.redist.x86 v3.2704.1432 with NuGet Package Manager.

I'm new on developing C# so I don't know how to solve this problem. Please help me to solve this error.

This is my MainWindow.xaml

<Window x:Class="StocktalkBrowser.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:StocktalkBrowser"
        xmlns:cefSharp="clr-namespace:CefSharp.Wpf;assembly=CefSharp.Wpf"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid>
        <cefSharp:ChromiumWebBrowser Grid.Row="0"  Address="https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions" />
    </Grid>
</Window>

Solution 1

I just tried the link, and as I mentioned in the comments it compiles without any problem.

Can be ignored.

And the preview is not available as well, I learned to live with it.

No errors when compiling

And the program starts up. No problem

Solution 2

For me the problem was that the solution platform was set to AnyCPU.
As far as I know, CefSharp does not support AnyCPU. Interestingly the solution ran just fine in Release mode, but in Debug mode I immediately got an error - the invocation of the constructor on type that matches ... the specified binding constraints threw an exception.

As soon as I changed the solution platform to be only x64, then the XAML error went away (The name ChromiumWebBrowser does not exist in the namespace “clr-namespace:CefSharp.Wpf;assembly=CefSharp.Wpf”). And I could run the solution both in Debug and Release mode.

I don't know why, but it is running well now ! Thank you

Thanks for your answer. But I retired using CdefSharp and moved to Electron. I'll try it again when I have time enough. Thank you Marko
