winform - open up a NEW default browser window

Currently my app is doing

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

this successfully launches a browser window but it RE-USES an existing
window if there is an existing window! Sometimes the existing window is
NOT resizeable because it is a pop-up ad.

So even if my users have a bunch of javascript pop-up ads that are not
resizeable, I want my C# code to launch a new browser window in a new
process. I don't want it to reuse existing windows.
I have seen several apps do this. for example the yahoo IM client.

Try doing this:

System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("iexplore http://www.yahoo.com") ;

This way you launch a new process

In addition to Chris,

What you use now is for every (default) browser, the sample for Chris only
for IE.

This problem is largely discussed in the newsgroup language.vb, there was no
other answer found than the one Chris shows now for opening a new window.

I'm shelling out to an .asp (or htm) page from an application. I want to show this in a window without the address bar, etc... Is there a way I can redirect this page using javascript to a page where I can set the window height, statusbar=no, etc? Thanks, -Luke

I am trying to create a popup page (to act as a menu) from a parent page. When the parent page (index.jsp) calls my popup function (see below) it will properly open the correct size browser window only if the browser that index.jsp is opened in is NOT maximized. If index.jsp is maximized and then I click on the test link that fires off the openMain function, the browser that is opened for the popup is also maximized. function...

I have a web page and there is a link to open a TIFF file. The way I do it is to have the server code open a binary stream, set the content type to "image/tiff" and call Response.BinaryWrite. On the client machine, the file type TIFF is associated with Kodak Imaging Preview. This app works on most client machines. When you click on the link, Kodak Imaging Preview will open the TIFF file on the client machine. However, on some machines, the...

After considerable googling - I mean searching with Google(r) - I could not find javascript on a button or <a href=... to close a window in the latest versions of IE and FireFox. There seemed to be two techniques for earlier versions. But the window.opener='' ;window.close(); and the window.open('','_parent','') ;window.close(); techniques do not work for me. I.e., I still get confirmation message

Hi, In my current project, I need to embed an .NET winform usercontrol in the aspx page (via <Objecttag). This winform usercontrol has an event called DoEvent (void DoEvent()). This winform usercontrol will fire this event upon certain action by the user. I tried to let the aspx page subscribe to this event via <script for="winObj1" event="DoEvent()" language="javascript"> window.alert("window control event happen!");

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
