Set Cache directory for WebView2

Question

I am using WebView2 in WPF control to host the new edge.

In my code, I want to cache the cookie and browser specific data to a cache directory. The cache location should be set in the CoreWebView2EnvironmentOptions when creating the CoreWebView2Environment.

Is there any way we can achieve this ? Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I have made a WPF application using WebView2 that sets the cache directory to user appdata folder. Below is a snippet of the code from my application.

var webView2Environment = await CoreWebView2Environment.CreateAsync(null, _cacheFolderPath);
await kioskBrowser.EnsureCoreWebView2Async(webView2Environment);

kioskBrowser.Source = new Uri(url);
