Viewing Office Documents in WinForms

J

Jack

I need to be able to view Office documents in a WinForms application. I'm
aware that there are options to [1] put a web browser control on a form and
open the document inside it or [2] use .net assemblies to directly open and
manipulate the documents.

If all I'm wanting to do is preview / view the document, is there a simpler
method? I'd rather the user not be able to modify the document, no toolbars
/ menus, just preview it (almost like previewing a pdf).

Thanks.

IE sounds like the right solution for you. Use the new managed Web Browser
control in VS2005.
