Creating an html 5 browser in C# : Getting started?
I know this probably already seems like a pretty ambitious project but, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of starting something like this.
Are there existing libraries or controls I can leverage to do this? I checked out Webkit.NET but it was pretty low on the HTML 5 count. Any help would be great!
Thanks.

What do you actually want to accomplish? Do you want to create the equivalent of firefox/chrome in C#?

I'd like to create a c# browser that support html 5 features similar to chrome as that has a pretty high html 5 score. I basic idea is that I can use a windows form but use html 5 features within it.

Why don't you look into Gecko or WebKit (the rendering engines for the two most popular HTML5 browsers, Firefox and Chromium respectively) as I'm sure you can integrate them with a WinForms app somehow. Bindings for .NET may even exist in one form or another already.
This is really the only practical bet.

What you want to do is invoke a native library which implements everything. Webkit is possibly the better option. It's not possible to implement this kind of thing yourself, not unless you want to dedicate several people and several years of work to have a somewhat usable product.
