C# – How to display PDF or Word’s DOC/DOCX inside WinForms window

c++ms-wordwinforms

I'm wondering what's the best option to display a pdf/doc document inside form in my c# winforms app.

This control should only allow do display preview. Edtiting documents should be forbidden.

I'm looking for free solution.

The best option would be to attach a few separate *.dlls to solution but it's not a requirement.

I wrote something that can do this for Word Documents by taking advantage of the WebBrowser control for WinForms. Hopefully it might do you some good:

Take a look at the DataGridView.

You'd need to break this up into the constituent cells, but it definitely is great for putting together a grid of data (like Excel).
