Is there a way to render SVG in Windows Forms?

Question

I am working with a library that renders part of its state as an SVG document.

I would like to render this in either a Windows Forms or a WPF environment. Is there currently a way to do this?

If not, I could modify the library to use a more general rendering strategy, and then add an XML adapter to restore the original functionality, but this is not my preferred strategy.

Answer 1

I have tried SVG.NET with WinForms and it works excellent.

Answer 2

Have you looked at Ab2d set of Apis? ReaderSvg and ViewerSvg seems to do the job? But they aren´t free!

Answer 3

If you are using the webbrowser control for SVG, you will have a problem with Access Violation due to Data Execution Prevention.

The workaround is to have the following lines in your post-build events

call "$(DevEnvDir)..\..\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat"
call "$(DevEnvDir)..\..\VC\bin\editbin.exe" /NXCOMPAT:NO "$(TargetPath)"
