You cannot embed a browser control designed for other app types, like Windows Forms or WPF, in a web page.

Yes.. but is there any way to display a webpage inside my page?

You cannot embed an https site within an http site.

And most sites will specify a content security policy[^] or the X-Frame-Options header[^] to prevent their site from being embedded within other sites.

You cannot circumvent this. You need to find another way to do what you're trying to do.

Thank you @Richard Deeming
But any suggestion to achieve this?

As I said, you can't. You'll need to get the other sites to cooperate with you if you want to embed them in your own site.

sunpop 13-Jan-21 12:31pm

Yes.. I got your point. Can you suggest any other site to support this in Web Application? Because I was able to find sites which support Web Forms & WPF

Once again: without the cooperation of the site owners, you CANNOT embed another site in your own site.

You can do it in a desktop application, simply because that's how browsers work. If you can convince users to install and use your application, then you're essentially free to do whatever you want around the edge of the control that displays the website.

You CANNOT do it in a web application. Quite apart from the security implications, no site owner wants their hard work to be shown surrounded by your ads, making you money.
