Hi All

I have a simple Application and I need to open my documents files in
assoicated applications given the path name and the file name and the
extension.
For example I got all my files stoted in C:\Documents and under that I got
following files.

mydoc.doc
mypdf.pdf
mytxt.txt
myautocad.dwg
and so on..

If I provide the file path in my program it should open up the file with the
relevent assciated application. for example mydoc.doc should open up with
MSWord and myautocad.dwg should open the autocad 2004 installed in my
computer.
How do i do this in my vb.net 2005 framewrok 2.0

Code example would be extreamly helpfull.

Thanks in Advacne
