Use Process.Start from OpenNETCF.Diagnostics.

See http://www.opennetcf.org/library

You can P/Invoke CreateProcess or ShellExecuteEx API functions, or use the
ready-made Process class in the Smart Device Framework
(www.opennetcf.org/sdf/) For VB.NET developers there is also a Shell
function in the OpenNETCF.VisualBasic library included in the SDF.
