Help on Launching Internet Explorer ??

[Guest]

Dear all,

What is teh right way to launch IEXPLORE.EXE with a specified starting page
from a VB.NET code ?

I have tried Shell("IEXPLORE.EXE") but fatal error occurs
I have try Process. Start ("IEXPLORE.EXE") same error occurs

Thanks for your information
Regards

Serge

You can use the following to open the Microsoft site in the default browser.
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.microsoft.com")

Serge,

You mean this one
\\\
Dim p As New Process
Dim pi As New ProcessStartInfo
pi.FileName =
"http://communities2.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/?dg=microsoft.public.dotnet.general
p.Start(pi)
///
I hope this helps?

Something simple like this works too - you were on the right track -
just need to provide the URL and the start page too.

Shell("C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE http://www.google.com")

Ben,

You make me curious, is that code that I showed difficult for you?

No, not at all.

That's the new elegant way of doing it...

Dear all,

I have try to pass the complete URl but it works with the process.start way,
But still one question .

If I already have an open page, is there a way to tell my process to display
my default site on a new page ?

In a similar way as you click two time on explorer

thnaks for our help
