C# [Windows Application] - How to add user manual to Help menu using C# ?

[NIKHILUNNIKRISHNAN]

Experts,

I have created the GUI for an application which has a lot of menus. I have a menu named "Help" and a sub-menu item named "About" inside it. I would like to add User manual, [a PDF document] into that sub item. How can I do that using C# ? I am using Visual Studio 2005.
Expecting an expert solution ,





with advance thanks and regards from,

Hi Joedeene ,

Your sugession was really helpful for me. It works well. Thanks a lot for the help provided. I have a doubt Joedeene. Why it didnt work when i give " file.open (path, filemode, file access) " ?

[joedeene]

Well, the File.Open Method returns a System.IO.Stream to the string you entered in the path parameter, and the Process.Start Method starts the process, or attempts and its return value is a boolean stating whether the process resource has started(true) or has not(false).

In slightly more simple terms, File.Open opens the file for read/write. Process.Start causes the OS to start a file.
