Look at the class called Process. Process.Start() will do what you need.

Rajeev,

A little sample from what Chris wrote, showing more elements you can use

\\\
Dim p As New Process
Dim pi As New ProcessStartInf o
pi.arguments = "c:\windows\win .ini"
pi.FileName = "notepad.ex e"
p.startinfo = pi
p.Start()
\\\
I hope this helps,

Cor

Take a look at the 'System.Diagnos tics.Process' class and its 'Start'
method, and VB.NET's 'Shell' function.

Hello: I'm facing a very strange problem. When I run my Web application in Visual Studio.NET the Page_Load event is not executing. Other events like a Button_Click are executing. It doesn't matter whether I'm running the application in VS.NET or browsing it using http://localhost/... the Page_Load event is not executing under either conditions. I've determined that this problem occurs in both VB.NET and VC#.NET. The Page_Load event...

Hi. I have a web application that needs to run tasks at regular intervals. E.g. it must send out emails every night to people who subscribe to that service.
