How to display the PDF file in Silverlight platform?
1 min read
Silverlight does not allow you to pass the stream of data to the aspx page, however a workaround is created to display the PDF by using the html Iframe. The following code example and sample link demonstrate the same.
C#
System.Windows.Browser.HtmlElement myFrame = System.Windows.Browser.HtmlPage.Document.GetElementById("_sl_historyFrame");
if (myFrame != null)
{
myFrame.SetStyleAttribute("width", "1024");
myFrame.SetStyleAttribute("height", "768");
Uri uri = new Uri(HtmlPage.Document.DocumentUri, "ClientBin/sample.pdf");
string path = uri.AbsoluteUri.ToString();
myFrame.SetAttribute("src", path);
myFrame.SetStyleAttribute("left", "0");
myFrame.SetStyleAttribute("top", "50");
myFrame.SetStyleAttribute("visibility", "visible");
}
