MinimalBrowser in Visual Studio in Less than 60 Seconds

Creating a browser in less than 60 seconds? Impossible? Not in Visual Studio!

Well, I needed to get more screen real estate out of my browser for a project where I needed to view HTML files. But, Firefox, Chrome, IE and Opera just take up too much space. So, I started Visual Studio. Created a Windows Forms project. Dropped in a WebBrowser control. Toggled the border to Sizeable Tool Window. And built it. Done. That was good enough for what I needed. Zero code. None. Here’s what the code looks like:


   1:  using System;
   2:  using System.Collections.Generic;
   3:  using System.ComponentModel;
   4:  using System.Data;
   5:  using System.Drawing;
   6:  using System.Linq;
   7:  using System.Text;
   8:  using System.Windows.Forms;
   9:  
  10:  namespace MinimalBrowser
  11:  {
  12:      public partial class Form1 : Form
  13:      {
  14:          public Form1()
  15:          {
  16:              InitializeComponent();
  17:          }
  18:      }
  19:  }
