you mean doing like `space` on selected file on mac? to preview in a lightbox? – Jorge Y. C. Rodriguez Mar 05 '14 at 08:24
You'd be doing well to do this yourself for all those file types, especially if you don't already know where to start. Have a look at a service like http://www.thumbify.me/ – CodingIntrigue Mar 05 '14 at 08:25

If your server supports previewing of files, you can use this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1439719/c-sharp-get-thumbnail-from-file-via-windows-api – CodingIntrigue Mar 05 '14 at 10:58
The windows API code pack thumbnail calls are not supported by XP/2003 unfortunately. article says – shalin gajjar Mar 05 '14 at 11:21
