open a new browser window in Windows Forms

[VR]

Hi,

How can I open a web site in a new browser window from a
regular windows form? (not an ASP.NET)

Do I have to use a COM ActiveX control or is there
anything like that already built in in .NET?

Thanks,
VR

I ran across that problem awhile back and the microsoft knowledge base
didn't exactly help me:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;305703

They suggest:

System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("http://www.google.com/index.html");

But that doesn't work for me (some kindof registry problem I guess).
This does work:
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("z:\index.ht ml");

So my computer knows what to do with .html files, there's something
about it being on a drive vs. http that is screwing it up.

This will open a web page in a new window of internet explorer, as
long as IE is installed on the client.:
System.Diagnost ics.Process proc = new
System.Diagnost ics.Process();
proc.StartInfo. FileName = "iexplore";
proc.StartInfo. Arguments = "http://www.google.com/";
proc.Start();

I guess you can use either or both, depending upon what you expect the
client machines to look like.

Hi,

You can add the Microsoft Internet Control 1.1 reference to your
application, then you can use it like this:

SHDocVw.Interne tExplorerClass ie=new SHDocVw.Interne tExplorerClass ();
Object vHeaders = null;
Object vPost = null;
Object vTarget = null;
Object vFlags = null;
ie.Navigate("ht tp://www.google.com" ,ref vFlags,ref vTarget,ref vPost,ref
vHeaders);
ie.Visible =true;

Hope this helps.
