Opening Files

I am using the System.IO class to search for files in a
directory. I input a couple strings on the main form and
the code strings together a path. Then it searches and
list all the files in that directory into a listbox.

I know need help to be able to open these files. These
files are all .pdf or .bmp. Originally I had this program
built using asp.net but now I need to create it in in
VB.NET windows. In asp.net I used tables. What can I do
for a VB.NET windows application?

Thank You

Have a look at the 'System.Diagnostics.Process.Start' method.
