Hi, I have a C# WinForm project that has a master form with a WebControl that loads multiple child forms, each with its own WebControl.
Basically the master form loads a web page, reads its contents (having multiple links), and loads each of these links in separate child forms.
The issue is that if there are more than 5 or 6 child forms being created, the webpages are not loading for some of the forms. I created a test project, and am able to reproduce the issue consistently (blank child webpages). Let me know if you want me to send you the test project, or if this is a known issue.

Worth noting that this issue started happening once I upgraded from EO.Total.2016.0.36.0 to EO.Total.2016.0.49.0 (free version). I had to upgrade to get the EO.Base exception handling.

Thanks.

Hi, thanks, updating to 0.55 resolved the blank pages issue. However, I now have another problem (not sure if this already existed in previous versions): The CPU usage is spiking and staying at 99% when for example around 15 child forms are open. This does not happen with other web controls I've tried with the same site (like IE WebBrowser, Awesomium etc.) It happens with particular sites like msn.com, gamespot.com, cnn.com. It does not happen with less busy sites like www.reddit.com, www.enterpriseobjects.com, etc.

Is this a known issue? Is there something I can do about it? You can simply use the test project I have already sent related to this thread using the sites above and see for yourself. Let me know if you want me to start a new post on this.

Thanks for your help.

Hi, thanks! That reduced the CPU usage for 15 forms down to ~80% (instead of the constant 99% before the code change, and I had waited more than a few mins with no change).
Are there any other tips to improve the performance besides disabling plugins that you can suggest?
btw, I had seen a thread about splitting the single EO.Webbrowser DLL into multiple ones to address memory issues. Would switching to multiple DLLs reduce CPU usage as well? (before I jump in to try).

Thanks again.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
To confirm, does the WebControl rely on the local Chrome browser installation (settings, plugins, ...) on the machine? That is, is it worth making changes to my browser setup/settings to potentially positively affect the EO.Webbrowser perf?

Thanks.
