Need help with WebBrower Control

[Roy]

I have vb.net application that needs to read a string object whose data is formated into PDF, Word and HTML. I've been successful reading the HTML stream into the WebBrowser control.

How are PDF and Word files read (or streamed) into the WebBrowser control or, better yet, how do I cause the WebBrowser control to launch the correct plugin?

Note: There are no files to open or navigate to. The only input is from a string object.

Thanks!

Roy,
I've not streamed from a string, I've only streamed PDF using
Response.BinaryWrite(mybyte()) but I believe the key is to set the content
type using Response.ContentType = "application/pdf" for PDF file and
Response.ContentType = "application/doc" for the Word file. I believe that
will launch the desired app/plugin.

Hope this helps!
