I'm using Visual Studio 2019 and I am trying to add a web browser to my form but it won't let me. I'm new to VS and I'm not sure how to fix this.

Are you using .NET Core or .NET Framework?

I think some of the controls do not work with Core yet. See https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/introducing-net-core-windows-forms-designer-preview-1/

When creating the project, select Windows Form (.NET Framework) instead of just Windows Form.

If this is not the issue try the following:

  1. Right click on the Toolbox windows and choose Reset Toolbox, restart the VisualStudio.
  2. Right click on the Toolbox windows and choose Choose Items…, under .NET Framework Components tab and make sure the WebBrowser option is checked.
  3. Re-run the VisualStudio 2019 installer as administrator, click the icon beside Launch and choose Repair.
