how to change user agent in chromium embedded framework in c#?

Question

Please help me changing user agent of chromium embedded framework in visual c#. It uses default chromium agent but i want to change it to use my browser name instead.

Answer 1

Use CefSettings.UserAgent. Also it can be configured via "user-agent" command-line switch.

Answer 2

i know its an old question but this might help someone, use the following code to change user-agent of cef-sharp 3x

ChromiumWebBrowser chromiumBrowser;

public Form1()
{

    InitializeComponent();

     CefSettings cfsettings=new CefSettings();
     cfsettings.UserAgent = "My/Custom/User-Agent-AndStuff";
     Cef.Initialize(cfsettings);

     chromiumBrowser = new CefSharp.WinForms.ChromiumWebBrowser("http://whatsmyuseragent.com/")
     {
        Dock = DockStyle.Fill,

Step by step:

• Download XIlium cefglue and update the dlls. If you need any help in that use http://umaranis.com/2013/10/16/how-to-embed-chrome-browser-in-net-application/
• Open your xilium cefglue application.
• In solution explorer open CefRuntime.cs
• There will be a public static void Initialize(CefMainArgs args, CefSettings settings, CefApp application, IntPtr windowsSandboxInfo) method, inside that method write settings.UserAgent = "Sonal";
• Rebuild and run the application.
• In the browser give the the following url: http://whatsmyuseragent.com/
• You can find the Useragent as Sonal

Hope this helps
