None of those(on the first page, anyway) answers how to do it using the Compact Framework.
How about P/Invoking ShellExecute or CreateProcess? Are those Win32 functions available on CE?
A P/Invoke declaration for ShellExecute looks something like this:
[DllImport("Kernel32.dll")] public static extern int CreateProcess( string appName, string commandLine, IntPtr processAttributes, IntPtr threadAttributes, bool inheritHandles, int creationFlags, IntPtr environment, string currentDir, ref STARTUP_INFO si, out PROCESS_INFORMATION pi ); [StructLayout ( LayoutKind.Sequential )] public struct PROCESS_INFORMATION { public IntPtr hProcess; public IntPtr hThread; public int dwProcessId; public int dwThreadId; } [StructLayout ( LayoutKind.Sequential )] public struct STARTUP_INFO { public int cb; public string reserved; public string desktop; public string title; public int wX; public int wY; public int xSize; public int ySize; public int xCountChars; public int yCountChars; public int fillAttributes; public int flags; public short showWindow; public short cbReserved2; public byte lpReserved2; public IntPtr stdInput; public IntPtr stdOutput; public IntPtr stdError; }(Yes, I had it readily available. Thanks to Colin, who actually wrote it).
