Launching at HTML Page from My Smart Device Application

TheMSsForum.com: The Microsoft Software Forum

In my Smart Device Application, how do I invoke an HTML page? I have a help
screen written in HTML, and want the user to view this when he/she clicks on
my Help command button. Is there a way to auto-launch Pocket Internet
Explorer, and bring up this HTML page?

- Thanks,

JRD

You can using the ShellExecuteEx API call, which you can call using Platform
Invoke. There is a sample here in C#:-

You can also use the Process class in the Smart Device Framework:-

Thanks - I will look at these sites (I am writing in VB, not C# - I assume I
can do something very similar w/VB, right?)

Or use the HTMLViewer to display the page right in your app. It's also part
of the SDF....

If you use the OpenNETCF classes then you can just add a reference in your
project and use

OpenNETCF.Diagnostics.Process.Start("\My Documents\MyFile.htm")

you can also convert the example in the previous link to VB.NET
