    Process.Start for Smart Device

    How do you start a process on a Smart Device? I've found an article on MSDN at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...classtopic.asp but couldn't get it to work.

    Any help is appreciated

    What do you mean "couldn't get it to work"? Didn't compile? Exception? Can you post some code?

    Well in normal applications, this would work:

    VB Code:
    1. Process.Start("IExplore.exe", "C:\\myPath\\myFile.htm")

    However, when I tried the same thing in a Smart Device application, I get an error message saying that "Name Process is not defined"

    I looked it up on MSDN, and its not part of the Compact Framework. At least the documentation doesn't list the .Net Compact Framework as being a platform for the Process class.

    Looks like you have to work native code - that is, do it with api calls.
