The WebView2 is a control that allows for HTML content to be hosted within an application. It renders web content using the Microsoft Edge (Chromium) rendering engine.
Use a WebView2 control to display richly formatted HTML content from a remote web server, dynamically generated code, or content files in your app. Rich content can also contain script code and communicate between the script and your app’s code.
