Just how to execute a file?

Someone, please post some vb.net code, on how to execute a file, without the full path. Like if my program is at D:\Program\program.exe, and it has to execute the file that's in D:\Program\data\file.exe , just with a click of a button.
Normally that would just be data/file.exe....

Many thanks in advance.

VB Code:

process.start("hello.exe")

If it doesn't work, you may need to reference another object or use the full class path... or whatever it's called.. it's like

system.diagnostics.process.start()

haha, yeah, kinda quoted the wrong post. But thank you very very much kasracer :)
So... now that has been cleared up :)

Ok, I tested this on a clean form, with only one button and that command.

But then when I added groupboxes, labels, pictureboxes, it's now giving my this error:

Process.start("hello.exe")

'start' is not a member of 'System.Windows.Forms.GroupBox'.

I think that's wierd. It worked perfect before I started adding controls to the form!

Sounds like you put the code on the wrong object (a groupbox)

Negative, I have the code like this:

Code:

---

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Process.Start("hello")
    End Sub

Hey, I figured it out. I'm just using this, and then it works:


Dim Alarm As Process = New Process
Alarm.Start("hello.exe")
