      Hello Your question is very strange!! I must admit I don't understand what you are trying to do. Are you trying to open a document -eg. pdf, doc, xls- inside your application? Otherwise you'd be making a virtual machine!!;P

        Cheers, I'm trying to take an existing assemby and use it as part of a display. The application displays a graph using some hardware sensors. As this works fine within itself I'm trying to load the application into my form as a control. :)

          That won't work. Either you find out how the program displays its graph -usually using a dll or something, which you can use in your application by referencing to it. Watch out for copyrights here-, or you use a graph library yourself. You can find plenty here in CodeProject.
