    System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo processStartInfo;

    Filename                FileName;

    str                     tempPath;

    fileIoPermission    =   new FileIoPermission(FileNameView, 'rw');

    fileIoPermission.assert();

    try

    {

        if (System.IO.File::Exists(FileNameView))

        {

          

// this will open file in adobe reader application

            process = new System.Diagnostics.Process();

            processStartInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();

            processStartInfo.set_FileName("acroRd32.exe");

            processStartInfo.set_Arguments(FileNameView);

            process.set_StartInfo(processStartInfo);

            process.Start();

            sleep(1000);
