Ganesan C · Answer

If you want display the word, powerpoint document inside your application then you have to use ms office reference or other third party libraries. Otherwise not possible to display inside your application. If you want to display/open the word, powerpoint documents in MS Office product (MS Word, MS Powerpoint) outside of application then use below. System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@ "Path of your document" );

You can use LEADTOOLS Document SDK technology in your application. https://www.leadtools.com/sdk/document/document-viewer-dotnet You can leverage the DocumentViewer and DocumentFactory classes. The DocumentFactory class allows you to load a MS Office file without requiring the Microsoft Office interop assemblies and the DocumentViewer class allows you to view the loaded document. There is a step-by-step tutorial of how to implement these two classes in a C# .NET WinForms application in the link below. https://www.leadtools.com/help/sdk/tutorials/dotnet-winforms-display-files-in-the-document-viewer.html
