Hi Charles,
As Diego has suggested, in winform application you can use the "LinkLabel"
control to display a html hyperlink like element on form. However, you need
to hook its "LinkClicked" event and use code to programmatically launch the
default browser on the system. A very simple approach is using the
"System.Diagnostics.Process" class's "Start" method to open the target http
url. e.g.
=============
private void linkLabel1_LinkClicked(object sender,
LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs e)
{
Process.Start("http://www.asp.net");
}
=============
You can also manually get the default browser image path from the following
registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htmlfile\shell\open\command
and use Process class to execute that program with the http url as
parameter.
Hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Steven Cheng
