Opening a WinWord or Powerpoint Doc

[Alex]

Dear colleagues

Is there a better command in VB.NET then ShellExecute to open from the
VB.NET code directly a Word or Powepoint document? The function should
automatically open depending of the file extension the appropriate program.
e.g. *.doc should be opened with Word etc.

Thank Alex

Alex,

The commands for that can be by instance the ones beneath, however more
with the process or processstartInfo class

I hope this helps?

Dim p As New Process
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = True
p.StartInfo.FileName = "c:\mydoc.doc"
p.Start()

Dim p As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo()
p.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden
p.FileName = "C:\mydoc.doc"
p.UseShellExecute = True
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(p)
