My application will only be used on windows based machines.
I need to open a folder using UNC naming. i.e. \\server\share\folder
I do not need to do anything programatically with the folder like count the
files, or determine permissions, I just need explorer to launch the
specified path.
Ideally it would work something like:
Dim FolderPath as string
Folderpath ="\\server\share\folder"
opendir(folderpath)
I am sure I do not need to use directory or directoryinfo classes, it seems
to me there should be an easy way to launch explorer and pass a path to it.
Let me know....
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Aaron

The easiest way would be to have the user click on a hyperlink.
<a href='\\server\share\folder'>click to open folder</a>

Do you need it to be an imagebutton? Is there some reason you need the
postback?
If not, just put an image inside the hyperlink:
<a href='\\server\share\folder'> <img.../> </a>
