Hi
How can I start an application using .NET? I want to start notepad with
contents of a certain file.
Thanks
Dee
 
Shell("notepad c:\mytextfile.txt")
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("notepad", "c:\mytextfile.txt")

For further options, take a look the Process and ProcessStartInfo classes
in the System.Diagnostics namespace.

hope that helps..
Imran.
