Hi,

From my VB.NET 2005 application I need to be able to open Files an
Directory's with their default application:
- A word-doc must open in word
- A excell-document in Excel etc
- in case it's a folder it must open the Folder

No problem there, but when I want to open a file without extension, that
hasn't offcourse a default application, I'm getting an error. I'd prefer to
have the "Choose Program"-dialog.

Any idea how I should open the files to have this?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Pieter

I'm using this now:

     Dim prcLogin As New Process
       Try
           prcLogin.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = True
           prcLogin.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = False
           prcLogin.StartInfo.FileName = strName
           If strArg <> "" Then
               prcLogin.StartInfo.Arguments = strArg
           End If
           prcLogin.Start()
Catch ex As Exception
           MessageBox.Show("Can't open the file!", MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Error)    '-> happens when the file doesn't have an
extension....
       End Try
       prcLogin.Close()
