C# How to display a PDF file from Windows app?

[mperazac]

My Windows app has a help file in PDF format. How do I display this file when user clicks on Help command? Thanks.

The System.Process() method can take a path to the file you want to open. As long as a program is registered with the PDF file type, it will work. Alternatively, if you know where a specific PDF reader resides, you will have to invoke the EXE and pass the PDF path as a parameter.

Cheers, Vıkram.

If you know for sure that the user has Adobe Reader installed on his/her PC you can start that process with a parameter representing the path to your help file. This is the easiest solution, but not the most elegant.
