webbrowser-control

I'm building a Windows Forms application which makes use of the WebBrowser control. Can anyone tell me what rendering engine the control uses?

Is it fixed based on the version of the .NET framework I'm developing against or is it based on the version of IE installed on the client's machine? Does the client even need IE?

In other words, if a website looks right in my application on my machine, is it reasonably safe to assume it'll render right on everyone else's machine?

Thanks!
