how to trigger default email client (.Net 1.1 with C#)

[jswedberg]

Hi all,

I'm trying to have a Windows App (.Net 1.1 with C#) trigger the default
email app and populate the email with the To addresses and the subject. I'm
not having any luck tracking down any references on how to accomplish this.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jon

Try this: Process.Start ("mailto:[email protected]?Subject=Subject

Let the Windows shell do the work:

System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
p.StartInfo.FileName = "mailto:[email protected]?subject=This is a test";
p.Start();
