How to get windows.external to work when using Awesomium.NET – Take 2

I got asked to provide the code from my post on How to get windows.external to work when using Awesomium.NET . Since I don’t have it (I don’t know why, but it’s gone…). I decided to create a new example, post it  on this repo at github  and hopefully don't loose it anymore ;). I’m assuming you are familiar with Awesomium.NET and just can’t figure out how to get windows.external at work (which is a must have on embedded web browser controls). I’m not going to show you what is Awesomium or how to use it, there’s a lot of good tutorials on the official site  and it has no sense I retype that here. So, enough jibber jabber, let’s go to the code. First of all, be sure you setup the right platform prior to compile the code (Last time I checked Awesomium.NET only works on x86).

So, the question from Marcel Kieboom  was “Do you know if it would be also possible to replace one of the words with an image which is locally stored?” The answer is yes, and this is how you can do that. Based on the same convention I had used in the previous post, I should have a template like this: What I’m trying to do here is replace the text [angus-young] for an actual pic of Angus. The technique I’m using it’s pretty common on web sites and basically consist in have an image with a matching name for each keyword I want to replace and then create the image path dynamically. This is the C# code to do that. * When I execute the f
