Replacing ShellExecute

I want to be able to do the following from within my C# application
(int)ShellExecu te(NULL,"open", "C:\\MyApp.exe" ,NULL,NULL,SW_S HOWNORMAL);

What in C# replaces the ShellExecute command?

Greetings, I am converting a VB6 application to .net and am having troubles trying to print a document directley to the printer.

Now in .net, I've tried using the System.Drawing.Printing namespace to do this, but that is unsatisfactory. So I went back to the API...

I have a problem I cannot solve. My application hosts IE activex control. I follow the standard procedure: I just aximp shdocvw.dll. Note that this gives you two files: axshdocvw.dll and shdocvw.dll.

Now, from my code I try to ShellExecute to a link (to show it in a new window):

I currently start a target executable written in VB.Net from an application that uses a C-script language. I start the target executable using ShellExecute in the C-script. The target runs fine like this except for the fact that the target can't write to a log file. If I run the target independently of the C-script application, the log file is created and written to without a hitch. There is no error produced - the log file just...
