Display a PDF in WPF Application [closed]
(9 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I currently have an app in C#/WPF, and I have a manual on how to use it in pdf, and I'm thinking of adding a button that when clicked open the manual ... How can I do this?
Process.Start("C:\Temp\yourname.pdf");
replace the string "C:\Temp\yourname.pdf" with the path and filename for the pdf file you want to open.
This will cause the pdf to open in your systems default pdf application.
You will need: - using System.Diagnostics;

I have a string of the file path and I want to open the file. Not in the way that it shows bytes in the console for example, but to open the original file with the program that suits him.
For example if my path shows a .docs file I want it to be opened with Word.
Any suggestions?

I have a little bit confusing problem. I'm not a beginner but I don't know how to do it..
For example I've written a program like notepad from which you can open files, save and etc. But when I set any custom format like ".blabla" to be opened by my app it is not working, so how can I make it to be opened by my app?
It is in WinForms
You need an entry in the registry for custom file extensions. You can try inserting a key in the registry as follows:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\
