Hi Gopi, To view a file in the system default application without downloading it, you can use the Process.Start method in C#. Here's an example code snippet: using System.Diagnostics; // Replace the file path with the actual file you want to open string filePath = "C:\example.doc"; // Use the Process.Start method to open the file in the default application Process.Start(filePath); This code will open the file located at filePath in the system's default application for that file type. For example, if filePath points to a .doc file, it will be opened in Microsoft Word.
