Version: .NET Framework 2.0
In my Windows Forms application, how can I open a file in its native
program?. Let’s say a listbox displays a list of file names with full paths;
when a user double clicks on a file name, the file opens in its native
program, a Word document opens in a Word Application, an HTML file opens in
IE etc. etc. Much like search result pane of Windows Explorer Search utility.
Thank you

System.Diagnost ics.Process has method Start, that "Starts a process
resource by specifying the name of a document or application file and
associates the resource with a new Process component.".
Following code works fine:
OpenFileDialog ofd = new OpenFileDialog( );
if (ofd.ShowDialog () == DialogResult.OK )
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt(ofd.FileName );
The file open dialog shows, and when the user selects a file, and
clicks open, the file is opened on its associated program.

Arto,
Thank you very much. You explained it very well and your example was very
easy to understand.

I wrote a MDI application with a CRichEditView. When the user clicks on a
button the program displays a dialog box and after the user closes the
dialog box the program has to open a new document and then write a text
string in it. I wrote the following code to do that.
void CFormatPlannerView::OnPlaylistGenerate()
{
CGenerateDlg dlg;
if (dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)

Hi Everyone,
I am developing a file aging program that will eventually report on
every folder that is in the root directory. I have a list of requested

to add up all the files from the specified year. I have the
functionality working, but not quite. With the following code, the end
result includes folders within subfolders. For example, instead of

From within my project, I am opening an file elsewhere on the network and
changing contents within.
When I go to close/save, however, I can't because it's read-only (as it's
checked in).
Can I just flip read-only off, make my changes and save it, and then flip
read only back on (programmatically)? How can I do this, please?
Thanks.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
