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 have an Access Database called "TEMP"
On Opening the "TEMP" Database, I need to use VBA (programmatically):
a) to connect to another database called "PMF"
b) the PMF database requires a password on opening called "allow"
c) to link 5 Tables in the PMF Database ... Table1,2,3,4,5
How do I accomplish the above programmatically using VBA ?
Thx & Best Rgds,

I've got a solution that has a C++ project that compiles to a DLL, and a
C# project that is the main piece of the program.
The DLL is managed C++ on top of regular C++. In one of the native
functions, I make a call that looks a little like this:
file = _fsopen(path, mode, SH_DENYNO);
That call generates a System.NullReferenceException, which makes
ABSOLUTELY no sense, since it's happening in unmanaged code. On top of

I understand that the new versions of MS
Word, MS Excel etc. allow for creation of
a document using XML tags (the technique
or format is called OOXML, i think).
I imagine that the idea behind such
creation resembles principally the way of
creating a GUI using WPF, where one can
mark up what parts of the text mass
should carry this or that format etc.
