Launch .exe Program with Button Click

I want the click event for a button on a Windows form to load/run an .exe file that is in a folder within the project. Can someone help me with this

Second question ... this winodws app includes a Web Browser control and I would prefer to launch the .exe file with the click of a link on an html page that is being displayed ... but I don't think that is possible. True

Thanks.

    This is the way to execute a exe

    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(exe with full path.)

    i donot think that you want to do is really possiable.

    is the link in the browser changes the url. then you may do this using the BeforeNavigate event of the user browse and checking the locationURL property of the browser,.

    Hi,maybe you can do it like this:

    Private Function StartFile(ByVal strFile As String) As Boolean

    Try
    If System.IO.File.Exists(strFile) = True Then
    Dim startInfo As New ProcessStartInfo(strFile)

    Process.Start(startInfo)
    Return True
    Else
    Return False
    End If

    Catch ex As Exception
    Return False
    End Try
    End Function
