I currently have a windows form desktop application and would like to build another application that can be launched from within the windows form app by a button. I want to know if I can develop this other application in any way I want and can still be able to launch it within the windows form? Is there limitation what can be launched form a windows form app?
@lydu , Do you mean that you want to start another app from the current winform app?
Like the following code:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Process.Start("Someapp.exe");
}
@lydu , is any update?
Is there limitation what can be launched form a windows form app?
There is no particular limitation
You can launch any Desktop application (with Process.Start, ShellExecute, CreateProcess, WinExec, etc...)
or UWP applications (with IApplicationActivationManager)
