Web like Desktop GUI in C# winforms

How can I program a web like GUI for my Winforms Desktop Application?

For example, Visual Studio 2008 Start Page.

Answer 1

Options:

• Use the FlowLayoutPanel and TableLayoutPanel controls to lay out normal WinForm controls in a web-like style.
• Use the WebBrowser control to embed HTML bits in your WinForm.
• Use the ElementHost control to embed WPF bits in your WinForm.
• Use WPF instead of WinForms for the whole UI.

Answer 2

You would want to include a browser in your application. There is a user control called WebBrowser that will do this for you.
