You can see the small sample I had posted in this thread : How to open PDF files on Form1 from Resources
How do I include a PDF file in my VB.net project?

I need to include a PDF help file in a project, and have it loaded into the programs region when the program is loaded. When requested by the user, the PDF file will be opened for the user to view. I can't seem to find a way to do this in the current latest version of Visual Studio VB.net. I know that there used to be a place to add a file to the project and then edit the disposition such that it is copied into the program region when the program is loaded. I searched the forums and that didn't help at all.
Thanks.

Thanks, that works, and I will use it. My question as to how to have the build process include a provided file in the manifest and ensure that the file is copied into the program's region has not been answered. If you have any insight as to how that can be accomplished, I would like to have a pointer to it. Thanks again.
