Hi I got some pdf files in Byte[] and I'm looking for a way to view them inside a WPF application.

I have already looked at http://hugeonion.com/2009/04/06/displaying-a-pdf-file-within-a-wpf-application/ But ran into problems with visual studio not being able to ref the correct dll's, just like in the comments.

But anyway, that method only allows LoadFile(string filename) and I would really like a way to use the Byte[] directly instead of wasting time saving it开发者_运维知识库 to a temp location.

Edit

According to Jerry Nixon Answer

I added a WebBrowser to test it, but it just shows the Open file dialog instead of displaying the file in the browser.

 <Grid>
       <WebBrowser Name="myBrowser" Source="file://C:\mypdffile.pdf" />
  </Grid>

Was running Win 7 64 and changing my app's Platform Target from AnyCpu to x86 made it work.

The absolute best and easiest is to embed a web browser, write your byte[] to a temp location and point your browser to that location. The Adobe reader will render the PDF inside the browser and thus inside your application. I've done it. It works fine.
