Hi,

Could anybody help me out how to display documents created in ms word, excel, power point, adobe acrobate (pdf), ms paint (images) etc., in a windows .NET application. Is there a single .NET control available for this purpose or i have to make use of API calles (P/Invoke)? Please suggest. Example or a link will be appreciated. Thanks

you can use,

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("d:\\picture.bmp" );

for example it opens PaintBrush and display the bitmap file but I know you wanted something else.

Well Mehdi i haven't checked it out but i guess it will only run the corresponding application and then run the file in it whereas i need to open it right in my own application.

thanx

Well, there's a WebBrowser control in .NET framework. This is in fact a full-featured web browser and
therefore it can open all of the files i mentioned above plus many more others. Just use its
Navigate() method and you are home... This could be helpful for anybody confronting such problem.

thanx

Can you explain how this would work in more detail please.
