Is anyone aware of a multi-format file viewer, capable of displaying common image formats, as well as MS Office document formats (at least Word and Excel), and PDFs? I've seen several image viewers available, but none besides Outside In from Oracle.

I'm looking for viewer technology that can be imbedded in a .net application - a mixture of vb and c#

Hi--I work for Atalasoft--we can indeed do all of that, but you need to work with another third party for Word/Excel support, but we'll give you the code for integrating it with our viewer. We handle PDF + image formats. The questioner didn't say whether he wanted WinForms or ASP.NET--we have both.

We embed an Internet Explorer ActiveX control into our application for doing this. IE opens all of the files you listed.

rjrapson, Hi! I was wondering if you had found a good solution for this?

Aaron, could you tell me the name of the ActiveX control you use for this?

Thanks, SP
