3rd one down has the answer.
wow did you guys read his post???

StreaksAthlete, Sorry I don't have any background in the compact framework... but at least I did understand your question ;)
Yes I did understand his post...and provided what he needed. He still needs to pass the URL to explorer...explorer is an app...even on a pda :)Quote:

Note that there's also a Mobile Development forum here.Code:imports OpenNETCF.WinAPI.Core
ShellExecute("\windows\iexplore.exe", "\windows\myfile.htm")
How do u make an API call for something like this :confused:
Are you familar with the DllImport attribute and platform invoke? If not, you'll want to read up on that is MSDN - there's good explanations and plenty of sample code. I wouldn't bother, personally, you'll find plenty of good reasons to use opennetcf, but that's just my opinion and lots of other people too :)
opennetcf stuff ships with source code, so if you want to see how they do it, you could check out their code.
But how do open explorer and pass the url to the explorer. HOW DO U DO THA? :confused:Quote:
