Step 1: Setting up the Application

In This Topic

In this step, you begin by creating a WPF or Silverlight application and adding the PdfViewer control to create a functional document viewer interface that displays PDF files.

Create a new WPF or Silverlight application in Visual Studio.
Navigate to the Toolbox and locate the C1PdfViewer control icon.
Double-click the C1PdfViewer icon to add the control to the MainWindow.

Edit the XAML markup in the application to add relevant namespace and set the basic attributes of the control.
