I need suggestions on possible webbrowser components/controls which allows developers to plug in custom download managers.

Suggestions can include browsers for WinForm.

P.S.: I have been using csExWebBrowser for a year or so, but recently I've been facing issues with this control.

I'm not certain if it will meet your needs, however take a look the Awesomium Browser Framework; it is based on the Chromium browser and does indeed look awesome. I was considering using it myself earlier this week however for an internal project.

You will probably have to implement the download manager plug-in system yourself, however using this framework you will be able to incept the navigation requests (i.e. links) and handle them.

    +1 for this answer, you can handle download requests via the [WebView.Download event](http://awesomium.com/docs/1_6_2/sharp_api/html/365f92a1-3739-40b6-31c6-9c3d8658a1af.htm). See the TabbedWPFSample for a full example (it creates a save file dialog and displays a progress icon). – Adam Aug 08 '11 at 03:22
  • Heard a lot about Awesomium when I was looking for a WPF web browser. Well, is there any other browser component that you wanna suggest? – Trainee4Life Aug 08 '11 at 06:49
  • @Trainee4Life: As far as I know, there aren't any other browser components that are of production-ready quality (especially for WPF as you have to deal with air space issues) – Dennis Aug 08 '11 at 07:35
  • Any WinForm browser component that you might have heard about? – Trainee4Life Aug 21 '11 at 04:08
