[RESOLVED] [2005] Opening a file in a webpage

[__Russell__]

I want to know how to open a file using VB in a webpage.

I've created a webpage in Visual Studios 2005 with a treeview. When a user clicks a node of the treeview I want an excel file to open, (in excel).
How do I do this?

When the user selects a treenode the following code runs:

Sub Select_Change(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

        If TreeView1.SelectedNode.Value = "" Then
            '   A folder is selected, so:
            Exit Sub
        Else
            Dim iPath As String = TreeView1.SelectedNode.Value
            If iPath = "0" Then
                '   The selected node is a folder so:
                Exit Sub
            Else
                '   Load the file:
                IO.File.Open(iPath, IO.FileMode.Open)
                'Shell(iPath, AppWinStyle.MaximizedFocus)
            End If
        End If

    End Sub

(iPath is the full lenght path of the file that I want to load, including .xls)

I've tried: process.start(ipath), but I got an error message saying that process has not been declared.

I tried: Shell(iPath, AppWinStyle.MaximizedFocus) but I got an error message saying that the file does not exist, (but it does, I checked)

And last I tried: IO.File.Open(iPath, IO.FileMode.Open)
This doesn't crash or produce an error message, but it doesn't load the file either.


Can anyone help me?
