[Christian Ropposch]

i use the compact framework 1.1 and i want to start a file with its
standard-application. (mostly a pdf.)

how can i do this with the cf 1.1? (process.start doesn't exist!)

Well, there is no such thing as .NET CF 1.1, but I'll assume that you mean
1.0. Look at OpenNETCF's Smart Device Framework, www.opennetcf.org.
There's code in there to create a better process class,
OpenNETCF.Diagnostics.Process.

Yes, you can download SDF sources and take a look at how Process.Start
(with UseShellExecute) was implemented. You will see that it has
P/Invoke and one class, just integrate it to your project.


private sealed class ShellExecuteInfo
{
...
}

[DllImport("coredll.dll", EntryPoint="ShellExecuteEx", SetLastError=true)]
private extern static bool ShellExecuteEx( ShellExecuteInfo ex );
