Display XPS Document in WPF - wpf

Question

I need to display data from a database into a WPF app and save it as an XPS document. I want to display it as part of a main window (with Toolbar, Menu and StatusBar) and not as a new window.
What control(s) should I use? Currently, I am looking at FixedDocument and FlowDocument. Am I on the right track? Any good material on how to start?

Improving on Stehpen's answer above...
Assume you've added a documents folder to your project:
Create a method GetDocument where the GetFilePath method refers to the Folder/Filename in the folder above.
private void GetDocument()
{
string fileName = Environment.CurrentDirectory.GetFilePath("Documents\\Title.xps");
Debugger.Break();
XpsDocument doc = new XpsDocument(fileName, FileAccess.Read);
XDocViewer.Document = doc.GetFixedDocumentSequence();
}
Where GetFilePath is an extension method that looks like this:
public static class StringExtensions
{
public static string GetFilePath(
this string EnvironmentCurrentDirectory, string FolderAndFileName)
{
//Split on path characters
var CurrentDirectory =
EnvironmentCurrentDirectory
.Split("\\".ToArray())
.ToList();
//Get rid of bin/debug (last two folders)
var CurrentDirectoryNoBinDebugFolder =
CurrentDirectory
.Take(CurrentDirectory.Count() - 2)
.ToList();
//Convert list above to array for Join
var JoinableStringArray =
CurrentDirectoryNoBinDebugFolder.ToArray();
//Join and add folder filename passed in
var RejoinedString =
string.Join("\\", JoinableStringArray) + "\\";
var final = RejoinedString + FolderAndFileName;
return final;
}
}

Add a Document viewer in your XAML
And add this code in the cs file:
string fileName = null;
string appPath= System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(Assembly.GetAssembly(typeof(DocumentWindow)).CodeBase);
fileName = appPath + #"\Documents\Help.xps";
fileName = fileName.Remove(0, 6);
XpsDocument doc = new XpsDocument(fileName, FileAccess.Read);
docView.Document = doc.GetFixedDocumentSequence();
