Answer 1

Put a web browser control in your form and navigate it to the PDF / XPS file. Providing a PDF Reader is installed on your system it should work great.

Answer 2

You can also use:

Process.Start("Foo.pdf");

This is equivalent to the user double-clicking on a PDF file and will launch whatever PDF reader is installed on the system.

Article, that you need, named "Integrating WPF with Windows Forms". DocumentViewer control is the part of WPF, but you still can embed WPF into your app.
