Is there a way to open a file residing on the server with an external program on a windows machine i

Time:06-29

I am trying to open a file which is residing on the server on a windows machine. I tried using System.Diagnostics like below;

var FullPath = "https://localhost:44389/documents/Open Doc.xlsx";
Process.Start(FullPath);

Everytime I get an error saying the system can not find the specified file but if I take and paste that URL in the browser the file gets downloaded automatically meaning there is a file on the other end. Am I using System.Diagnostics the wrong way?

CodePudding user response:

use this code :

    var process = new Process();
    process.StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("address")
    {
        UseShellExecute = true
    };
    process.Start();

If the address is on your Windows, it will run

And if it is an Internet address, it opens it in the browser
