Getting default PDF viewer

[bankai123]

Hi, I want to run a process to view a PDF file. However I'm unsure of how to retrieve the default application to view a certain file type. Can someone point me in the right direction?

If I understand correctly you just need to open the file, windows will open it with the default application associated with that file type. You can use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(Path);

He who laughs last is a bit on the slow side

You can use the Shell32 dll to get the executables for certain extensions... [DllImport("shell32.dll", EntryPoint="FindExecutable")] private static extern long FindExecutableA(string file, string directory, StringBuilder res); There is a nice tutorial somewhere in Codeproject if I remember right...
