Open an application from Windows forms

In web, you don't have to start the application to open a file. Like you don't have to start the word application to open a .doc file. If you just open the .doc, then it opens using the default application. As far as saving the files at a particular location, I think you can specify the location where you want to save the file. I am not sure about the syntax of it.

Ok, but what i about if i want users to download word document, pdf,excell document etc..... how can i allow them to download the file and where shall i place these files to allow people across the world to be able to open them. Thank you for you reply and i appreciate your help!!!

It isn't possible in ASP applications. Windows features are not allowed for safety reasons. It would be horrible if anyone could access the operating system like that from the web :)

hi !!! Is that works only for windows what about the asp.net web application

i like using Process.Start() more. but they all works.

You are welcome! :)

Wow Robin...That worked. Thanks. You have saved my life for the second time.

take a look at System.Diagnostics.Process namespace. for example, in some function: {..... Process pcs = new Process(); pcs.StartInfo.FileName = "C:\\1\\test.doc"; pcs.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true; pcs.Start(); ......}
