XPS with Windows Forms

Question

What is the best way to display and print XPS files in a Windows Forms application?

Answer 1

I think the easiest way is to use WPF, you can host a WPF control inside a WinForms application - you don't have to rewrite your GUI in WPF or anything like that.

Answer 2

On my machine, XPS files open automatically thru IE. I would just drop a WebBrowser control on the form and navigate to the XPS file then call the Print() method.

Answer 3

I just call Process.Start(XpsRchVw.exe, "pathtofile") if you have xps viewer EP installed then this will open your xps in xpsviewer and allow you to use it to print edit etc binks
