How do I get the C# Winforms Webbrowser control to show PDF content embedded in the html file as bin
- by uniball
I am using a Winforms webbrowser control to display HTML content stored in my SQL DB table. However, some of my contents are PDFs which I intend to store as binary data in the SQL DB and feed to the Webbrowser control. I wish to avoid the hassle of storing the binary content in a temporary file on the client machine and then create html container code to reference this temporary PDF file. Is there a way inwhich I can embed the PDF binary content into the html directly and show this html on the webbrowser control directly?
I found these previous threads referring to a COM 'hack'. Is there a simpler, easier way? Thanks!
