How to launch a web browser in C#
Posted: (EET/GMT+2)
I needed a very simple piece of C# code: I wanted to launch a web browser with a given URL when the user clicked a picture in my WinForms application.
Initially, I didn't seem to find the correct keywords to find a solution with Google, but finally I did.
So, I'm sharing the code that I learned today:
private static void LaunchWebBrowser()
{
const string MY_URL = "http://www.saunalahti.fi/janij/";
// launch web browser
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo =
new ProcessStartInfo();
startInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
startInfo.FileName = MY_URL;
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(startInfo);
}
Keywords for this sample code: open web browser, C#, example code, launch web page from Windows application.
