use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.google.com"); put your URL in place of google.com Enjoy ;)

Actually, the class I was thinking of was WebRequest[^]. That will allow you to make a request into any URI, including a user-specified URL.

Thanks for reply, Your suggestion solved my problem but created another problem... i am storing the user defined URL in XML file.. if i store the URL "http://www.google.com" it works perfectly, but when i try to store the URL "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=abc" it corrupts the XML file and gives error "A semi colon character was expected." can you tell me what is the reason behind this error...?
