Dear friends,

I am looking forward to open a pdf file in a separate window automatically without selecting anay file. The file is saved in the same directory as bin\debug.

My code is:

C#

namespace Info
{
    public partial class documentationForm : Form
    {
        public documentationForm()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void documentationForm_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            axAcroPDF1.src = openFileDialog.FileName; //("info.pdf");
        }
    }
}

is there any way to add the file name manually?

regards
AM

This is ASP.NET, the asker is using Windows Forms.

you can use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start as well as WIN32 ShellExecute function by means of interop, for opening PDF files using the default viewer:
//------------------------------------------
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("SOMEAPP.EXE","Path/SomeFile.Ext");

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("shell32. dll")]
private static extern long ShellExecute(Int32 hWnd, string lpOperation,
string lpFile, string lpParameters,
string lpDirectory, long nShowCmd);

You can use WebBrowser control to load PDF by passing file path to Navigate()

C#

private void OpenPdfInWebBrowser(string filePath)
{
    if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(filePath))
    {
        yourwebBrowser1.Navigate(@filePath);
    }
}
