Public Property ReleaseChannels As CoreWebView2ReleaseChannels

Property Value

CoreWebView2ReleaseChannels

Remarks

OR operation(s) can be applied to multiple CoreWebView2ReleaseChannels to create a mask. The default value is a mask of all the channels. By default, environment creation searches for channels from most to least stable, using the first channel found on the device. When ReleaseChannels is provided, environment creation will only search for the channels specified in the set. Set ChannelSearchKind to CoreWebView2ChannelSearchKind.MostStable to reverse the search order so that the loader searches for the least stable build first. See CoreWebView2ReleaseChannels for descriptions of each channel. Environment creation fails if it is unable to find any channel from the ReleaseChannels installed on the device. Use GetAvailableBrowserVersionString(String, CoreWebView2EnvironmentOptions) to verify which channel is used. If both a BrowserExecutableFolder and ReleaseChannels are provided, the BrowserExecutableFolder takes precedence. The ReleaseChannels can be overridden by the corresponding registry override ReleaseChannels or the environment variable WEBVIEW2_RELEASE_CHANNELS. Set the value to a comma-separated string of integers, which map to the CoreWebView2ReleaseChannels values: Stable (0), Beta (1), Dev (2), and Canary (3). For example, the values "0,2" and "2,0" indicate that the loader should only search for Dev channel and the WebView2 Runtime, using the order indicated by ChannelSearchKind. Environment creation attempts to interpret each integer and treats any invalid entry as Stable channel.

	ReleaseChannels	Channel Search Kind: Most Stable (default)	Channel Search Kind: Least Stable
	CoreWebView2ReleaseChannels.Beta | CoreWebView2ReleaseChannels.Stable	WebView2 Runtime -> Beta	Beta -> WebView2 Runtime
	CoreWebView2ReleaseChannels.Canary | CoreWebView2ReleaseChannels.Dev | CoreWebView2ReleaseChannels.Beta | CoreWebView2ReleaseChannels.Stable	WebView2 Runtime -> Beta -> Dev -> Canary	Canary -> Dev -> Beta -> WebView2 Runtime
	CoreWebView2ReleaseChannels.Canary	Canary	Canary
	CoreWebView2ReleaseChannels.Beta | CoreWebView2ReleaseChannels.Canary | CoreWebView2ReleaseChannels.Stable	WebView2 Runtime -> Beta -> Canary	Canary -> Beta -> WebView2 Runtime
