ShellExecute to html file in VB.netVisual Studio 6. I am currently using Visual Studio 2008 coding in Visual Basic. All the examples I have tracked down to use ShellExecute to open a file with the appropriate application end up looking something like this: Private Declare Function ShellExecute Lib "shell32.dll" _ Alias "ShellExecuteA" _ (ByVal hwnd As Long, _ ByVal lpOperation As String, _ ByVal lpFile As String, _ ByVal lpParameters As String, _ ByVal lpDirectory As String, _ ByVal nShowCmd As Long) As Long Private Sub Command1_Click() Const SW_SHOWDEFAULT As Long = 10 Dim sFullPathToFile As String Dim rc As Long sFullPathToFile = "C:\tmp\EditMenu.htm" rc = ShellExecute(0, "Open", sFullPathToFile _ , 0&, 0&, SW_SHOWDEFAULT) End Sub When I execute the above, it does not throw an exception, It does not generate anything in the event log. It appears to run. rc is returned as 1642688007033061378 x"16CA000A00000002" The path to the file does exist and IE is defined as the default application for .html files. I have not been able to track down what that error means. Can someone give me a pointer as to how to fix this issue? -- Robert Styma Principal Engineer (DMTS) Alcatel-Lucent "Robert Styma" <rollingbigbob@newsgroup.nospam> wrote in message [Canned response]news:B98E6266-40E1-4A5A-8B12-FDD08282F534@microsoft.com... > I am currently using Visual Studio 2008 coding in Visual Basic. This is a VB "classic" newsgroup. Questions about VB.NET (including VB 2005/2008 and VB Express, which have dropped .NET from their names) are off-topic here. Please ask .NET questions in newsgroups with "dotnet" in their names. The *.vb.* groups are for VB6 and earlier. If you don't see the *.dotnet.* groups on your news server, connect directly to the Microsoft server: msnews.microsoft.com. For questions specific to the VB.NET language, use this group: microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb Please note that things like controls and data access, which have their own subgroups in the Classic VB hierarchy, are not language-specific in .NET, so you should look for groups like these: microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.windowsforms.controls microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.adonet (Note that "vb" is not present in the group name.) > I have used SHellExecute from C++ successfully on You're using VB.Net. VB and VB.Net two different things.> Visual Studio 6. I am currently using Visual Studio 2008 > coding in Visual Basic. This group is for VB. For VB.Net try here: microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb Microsoft dropped ".Net" from the name "VB.Net" as part of their marketing strategy to sell .Net to VB developers. Adding to that confusion, VB.Net has been named with several versioning systems. There is .Net v. 1, 1.1, 2 and 3. There is .Net 2005 and .Net 2008. And sometimes the VB.Net versions are referred to as VB7, VB8 and VB9, even though VB.Net is not a continuation of VB6! These days, anything other than VB5 or VB6 is probably VB.Net. You need to be aware of the difference between "the two VBs" when looking for newsgroups. The same applies when searching for sample code. VB and VB.Net code can look very similar in some cases, but code in one system is not applicable to the other. Give it up Mayayana. This spam of yours is adding nothing of any real help.

So will you please stop posting this nonsense of yours claiming that "There is .Net 2005 and .Net 2008. " There isn't, and you have been told this umpteen times. The only reason you continue to post this must be because you are deliberately trying to start and argument or deliberately trying to confuse people. In either case, try growing up and maybe next time even just skip over any dotnet question rather than posting misleading info, hey ? Bill McCarthy wrote:

Could you be so kind and being more specific and | say how to look into this issue? 1) Weak minded, clueless MVPs who don't know dick about anything taking matters into their own hands. 2) More MSFT FUD in an ongoing effort to pollute this community. Really, it's the same thing if you think about it. Time to rewrite the canned responses. Make sure that when .netters are directed here that you redirect all follow ups to the .net group so that all consequent replies end up there, where they belong. And I would also go as far as to advise in such replies Cor's and Bill's private email addresses so the OP can get the kind of personall attention that off topic replies seem to get here. Clutter up their inboxes enough and maybe they'll think twice before cluttering up this group with their proaganda. Eduardo wrote:
