Any recommendations for lightweight .net Win Forms HTML renderer controls?

Question

Trying to avoid the .net WebBrowser control (I don't need to navigate to a url, print rendered html or any of the other inbuilt goodies). Wrapping the IE dll seems a bit heavyweight.

I simply require something that can display basic html marked up text - an html equivalent of RichTextBox in effect. Anyone have any experiences / recommendations / war stories?

Answer 1

I developed this HTML control for .NET, which does what you were asking: i.e. display basic html marked up text.

It doesn't use IE or any other unmanaged code (except for the .NET framework itself).

Lutz Roeder (of Reflector fame) has a WYSIWYG HTML editor in .NET on his site here: http://www.lutzroeder.com/dotnet/. Check out the download called "writer". I haven't used it myself, but it was the first thing that popped into my mind.
