Opening a pdf in .NET
- by link664
In the application we are working on we are trying to implement Help. We have a help pdf document and for the moment it has been deemed acceptable that when users click the help button it just opens the pdf. The application is a desktop app and the pdf file needs to be included in the install somehow and installed on the local machine.
I essentially need two things:
How would I add this pdf to the
application so that it is available
on the client machine after install?
I can either put it in the resources
of the project, or else I could put
it in the Application Folder of the
client setup installer.
How would I open this pdf?
I can either open this pdf by just
launching the default pdf viewer for
the file, or I can use the
System.WinForms.WebBrowser tool to
display it. However if I choose the
second option, I am unsure of how to
access the file stored in the
resources or find it in the install
folder.
If you could please provide me with the code to do this (either in VB.Net or C#.Net) that would be great.
