using process.start to open a web page
in [VB.NET]
|
From: bill on 5 Jul 2008 15:07 i'm using VS2005, VB.NET windows forms application when I try to open a web page using process.start, i get an error: "application not found" I'm using this syntax: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.microsoft.com/") It works if I do it like this (thank you HKW), but what if the user doesn't use IE, but uses some other browser? Dim psi As New ProcessStartInfo() With psi .FileName = "iexplore" .Arguments = "-new http://dotnet.mvps.org/" End With Process.Start(psi) Thanks Bill -- bill

What's the exact problem? or do you want your users to open link in Firefox explictly: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start( _ "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe", _ "http://www.microsoft.com") Hope this helps, Onur Güzel
