Launch web site with default browser....

Tom
What the best way to launch a web site using the default browser? For
instance, I have a help menu item that, when clicked, will cause a
pre-defined web site to launch in the default browser (IE, Mozilla,
Netscape, whatever).

Right now I am using:

System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt(http://MyWebSite)

Just wondering if this is the best way to do it; and will this work all the
time? (i.e. even when you compile a 'Release'config uration)

Should work, even when compiled as "Release".

I am trying to write a web page where a person can click on a word document and MS Word is launched instead of the document being displayed in the IE browser. I have been able to launch MS Word but only when I create a shortcut for the document. However a pop-up comes up with save and/or open instructions. I do not want the pop-up to come up. Mike

I have a chat-type program that automatically highlights URLs. When somebody clicks on one of those URLs, I use: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(url); to start the default browser at that URL. This works, but has a security issue I'd like to avoid. Lets say somebody sends the URL:

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
