cefsharp.wpf support x64 compiled?

[hellocxj]

Hi Perlun,

Is it possible to compile CefSharp.wpf in x64 ?
Do you help me to solve this problem ? So far as it seems a hard word to me ,are there any demo let me download.
Thank you for your help first !

Hi @hellocxj,

Thanks for your polite question. Yes, it is possible. You need either Visual Studio 2010 or 2012. Try these simple steps:

1. Clone the project. Make sure to checkout the CefSharp3 branch, which is where this is supported.
2. Open up Visual Studio (either one).
3. Select x64 Debug or x64 Release configuration.
4. Make sure CefSharp.Wpf.Example is set as the default.
5. Press F5.

If any of these steps fail, I would be very interested to hear. Let me know. Thanks.

Hi @perlun ,
Thanks for your reply,it is a good job.

@perlun Are there any plans to make nuget pre-release packages for CefSharp3?

[perlun]

Quite possibly. 😉 I set #137 up to be included in 3.29.0-pre.0 (the next version of the CefSharp3 branch that is due to be released). That means NuGet support.

Closing this issue since x64 "should" work. Feel free to reopen if you can't make it so.

@peters - I created a prerelease package of CefSharp.Wpf for #137 now. Please give it a try before we release it to a bigger audience. For some details about how it may be used, you can look at the https://github.com/cefsharp/CefSharp.MinimalExample project; it shows a very bare-bones example of how it can be done.

It has been set up using .props and .targets files, so there is no manual copying of the CEF stuff to the bin\Debug or bin\Release that has to be done. The only really, really important thing is that you must select either x86 or x64 - "AnyCPU" will not work, and the application will crash on startup if you attempt to circumvent this word of warning. 😉

@perlun Great! I already use a .targets for the NuGet package so it should be pretty straight forward getting this to work really. I'll get back to you.. thanks for an excellent effort so far :)

[peters]

@perlun 👍 It works pretty great! Tested both x86/x64. Damn, the speed difference is quite noticeable! But please keep in mind that the application i've tested with does not rely on much of cefsharp's features since it mostly just hosts a CEF3 webview (WPF) and the communication is handled via IPC :)

@perlun Strange, but why is VC10 required anymore? I was under the impression that CEF3 would link against VC12 ? Dependency walker shows MVCR100.dll on Cefsharp.dll

Moving to #137 where it better belongs. 😉
