You can give a link to the pdf file and user can see the file if they click on it and have Adobe Acrobat Reader (or probably other pdf viewer) installed.

A better way to ensure that a user who doesn't have pdf reader installed can also see the file is using this - ASP.NET PDF Viewer User Control Without Acrobat Reader Installed on Client or Server[^]

HTH!

Solution 2

In C++ it would be: System() [old and deprecated] or CreateProcess() [the good one].

for C# look here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.diagnostics.process.start(v=vs.71).aspx[^]

Good luck!
