VB.NET - which is the Best way to show pdf files in a windows application

Hi all

I am using Mysql as database and i want to display the pdf files that i already stored in the form of blob. which is the best way to do that.

You'll want a third party component like the one from syncfusion.  This will enable you host the PDF inside one of your forms versus writing it out to a file and attempting launch Adobe Acrobat Reader (and that's if the end user has it installed).

thnx Robbe Morris 

for valuable comments. but is there any way that we could change this pdf file into image and store it inside database, without using any third party tool. so that we can just show the file in any image control.

I am afraid that you really need a third party component since convert image to pdf is really very easy, many free tools can  perform that, such as PDF Converter, it can save word,text,excel,xml,html  as PDF,but for saving the pdf file to image is rather difficult, so I introduce you a PDF Viewer component to help you.

hi   White Ashlin

Is it possible through any way without using third party control to do the same operation.

Well, you could spend months writing your own like the developers of these products did.  :)

From now on, I do not kinow have such a free tool that can convert pdf to other file formats.

thnks every one....
