Here is the deal it is very difficult to decide the preview control. For example to display the image text files we can use image control and textbox control respectively. If the user uploads word file pdf file bin file or even exe file then what should be the behaviour of the application. Please post your thoughts for discussion.

Do you want to show the preview inside the application ? If not try out the attached sample project. Do you have any restriction on the file type (like only for text image  word files etc) ?
