how to start another application with c#?

sayclicking the button to start Visual studio .net

thanks for help

Try this

Code:

---

Process.Start("notepad.exe");

---

Make sure you have the using System.Diagnostics namespace referenced.
Note: if the program is not in the startup path, you will have to provide the full path to the program.

d'I need the complete path eg. C:\\Program Files\\...
???

Yes

ill try it in a bit. thanks! :)

in case you are not aware you need to be able to access the Process function in the first place , the easiest way is to put this at the top of your code page : using System.Diagnostics;
eg:

Code:

---

using System.Diagnostics;
//// top of form's code page.
////
        public Process processToStart =new Process();

        private void button1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
        {
        processToStart.StartInfo.FileName="IEXPLORE.exe";
        processToStart.StartInfo.Arguments="http://google.com";
        processToStart.Start();
        }
        }
