I am looking for a .NET equivalent to ShellExecute. I want to print html
files using the default web browser. In the Win32 API ShellExecute will do
this for me. Does .NET have an equivalent?

Thanks,

Jon

It is Process.Start

You may want to try this:
Private Sub btnPrintDocument_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles btnPrintDocument.Click

Dim MyProcess As New Process

'Set the file to open

MyProcess.StartInfo.FileName = "c:\temp\test.doc"

MyProcess.StartInfo.Verb = "Print"

'Start the process

MyProcess.Start()

End Sub
