Hi,

 

Use this code:

 

Code Snippet

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("calc")

 

or

 

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Windows\system32\calc.exe")

Thanks for the reply, just wonder, do I need to import any namespace?

Hi,

 

The namespace is System.Diagnostics. So if you import that then you do not have to fully qualify the code block. Just use Process.Start()

Thanks Suprotim.

I just want to ask, is it the same if we want to call tskmgr.exe (Task Manager) or notepad?
Or it has its own way?
