Displaying a PDF in a control in Visual Basic 2010

I just installed Visual Basic 2010, went through some tutorials on how to display files, but can't find any material on how to select and embed existing PDF files into a form. Any suggestions or pointers in the right direction would be great, thanks!

Disclaimer: I work at Atalasoft.

We make a GUI control that can load a bunch of image formats, and an add-on to turn PDF pages into images. The GUI control (ImageViewer) is part of our free SDK (DotImage Photo) and you can learn about the add-on here: http://www.atalasoft.com/products/dotimage/pdf-reader

Just embed a browser control in your form and navigate that to the PDF file. That should do the trick.

There aren't too many out of the box controls for that. Anyway, this guide might be helpful:
