            RegistryKey baseRegistryKey = Registry.LocalMachine;
            string renderingEngineSubKeyString = @"SOFTWARE";

            // 64bit operationg systems have another registry path
            if (Environment.Is64BitOperatingSystem)
            {
                renderingEngineSubKeyString += @"\Wow6432Node";
            }

            renderingEngineSubKeyString += @"\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_BROWSER_EMULATION";

            //var assemblyValueKey = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(App.ResourceAssembly.Location);
            var assemblyValueKey = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(System.Windows.Application.ResourceAssembly.Location);
            
            var renderingEngingeValue = 9999; // check other values below

            try
            {
                RegistryKey sk1 = baseRegistryKey.CreateSubKey(renderingEngineSubKeyString);

                var value = sk1.GetValue(assemblyValueKey);
                if (value == null || value.ToString() != renderingEngingeValue.ToString())
                {
                    sk1.SetValue(assemblyValueKey, renderingEngingeValue);

                    //LogHandler.Instance.Add(string.Format("Did update webbrowser rendering engine from {0} to 9000.", value == null ? "[missing]" : value));
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                //LogHandler.Instance.Add("Could not check webbrowser rendering engine in registry.");

            //WebBro1.Navigate("file:///" + PDFPath);
            webBrowser1.Navigate("file:///" + PDFPath);

<WindowsFormsHost Margin="1" x:Name="windowsFormsHost1" Height="600" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Width="1000"/>

var uc = new UserControl1();
            this.windowsFormsHost1.Child = uc;

application.UI.CreateNewForm("Test Report", new Client.Reporting.Pages2.ClientStatement.ReportForm());

public partial class ReportForm : BaseForm

public void CreateNewForm(string title, BaseForm form)
	mw.CreateNewForm(title, form);


public class BaseMainWindow : MetroWindow
    {
