Anyone that can recommend an Word, Excel and PowerPoint viewer (no editing), that can be used as a component in Winforms?
The viewer must support Office 2003, 2007 and 2010.
The target is .NET 4.0.
A free one is preferred ;-) But if its commercial its ok.
Thanks in advance!
Generally your best approach to this is to have your users obtain the appropriate read-only viewers from Microsoft.
Word Viewer
Excel Viewer
PowerPoint Viewer
This is how the vast majority of document management systems work; they rely on the computer's file associations to target various readers. So all you have to do is provide a link.
One alternative is to use the WebBrowser control in WinForms in combination with Google Docs Viewer?
