Re: WebBrowser component with Core License image?

The .NET CF component is just a thin wrapper for accessing the native OS
component from managed code; it has no functionality of its own. You *must*
have the OS component to use the wrapper, so, no, you're stuck with the
other license in the OS to use that particular .NET CF item. Maybe there's
something else you could do, depending on what you're trying to use the
WebBrowser component for, but you haven't told us enough to help with that.

In order to display Web pages, you need the web page displayor! As I said,
in order to use the .NET CF component, you need the OS features for doing
that, so you'll either have to find some piece of code that will do the
entire rendering of HTML or you'll have to live with the Pro license for the
OS.

Thanks Paul and Javier,

Ok, for now we will use the Pro License if we want to display web pages.
