So I am adding a help manual to my form and would like it to open a pdf in a separate window. Right now I am using this

private void helpToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Process process = new Process();
    ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo();
    process.StartInfo = startInfo;

    startInfo.FileName = @"Filepath";
    process.Start();
}

But it obviously requires the full filepath. I want to include the pdf with the finished product and thus I won't know the full filepath on their system. I'm not sure if I can add this as a resource somehow? Sorry if I'm overlooking something simple.

What is the environment? Web or windows forms? – Eric Apr 18 '16 at 18:42
Hey, I actually figured it out. It was a windows form. Thanks anyway! – ApprenticeCoder Apr 18 '16 at 23:37
