After you put a OpenFileDialog control on your form, let's say that you click a button and:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DialogResult result = openFileDialog1.ShowDialog();
if (result == DialogResult.OK) // Test result.
{
//Do whatever you want
//openFileDialog1.FileName .....
}
}
it goes something like this :-)

You can use OpenFileDialog to get the filename of the file you need and then .NET File object to read data from the file. You might need a control being able to display a PDF file. Please read the following:
Comments
public string GetFile(OpenFileDialog pOFD)
{
pOFD.Filter = "Excel Files|*.xls;*.xlsx;*.xlsm";
if (pOFD.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
return pOFD.FileName;
}
return "";
}
