.NET open PDF in winform without external dependencies

Question

Is there a FREE library which will allow me to open a pdf and show it on a winform project. I know I could open it in adobe reader or something but it always seems so bloate

Answer 1

Take a look at this. It requires quite a few libraries (including GhostScript), so it's not terribly light weight. But all dependencies included native reading of PDF. It's in VB--but could be translated if you need C#:
