If you are using the webbrowser control for SVG, you will have a problem with Access Violation due to Data Execution Prevention.

The workaround is to have the following lines in your post-build events

call "$(DevEnvDir)..\..\VC\bin\vcvars32.bat"
call "$(DevEnvDir)..\..\VC\bin\editbin.exe" /NXCOMPAT:NO "$(TargetPath)"

You can also try SVG Icon Builder. Please refer the following link to know more about that

Have you looked at Ab2d set of Apis? ReaderSvg and ViewerSvg seems to do the job? But they aren´t free!
