Answer 1

After you put a OpenFileDialog control on your form, let's say that you click a button and:

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            DialogResult result = openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
            if (result == DialogResult.OK) // Test result.
            {
            //Do whatever you want
            //openFileDialog1.FileName .....
            }
        }

it goes something like this :-)

You can use OpenFileDialog to get the filename of the file you need and then .NET File object to read data from the file. You might need a control being able to display a PDF file. Please read the following:
