Hi number,

do you want to read the content of the PDF file? Do you need the coded content or the decoded content (aka text and images)?

Do you just want to display the PDF?

I suggest starting here if you want to do any editing or control of the pdf. It uses the itextsharp dll.  If this package doesn't do exactly what you want to, you can at least use it as an example / template for accessing the itextsharp dll which will do everything imaginable with dlls.

If you want to just display the pdf, you can look in to using an activex control.  Start here:
