Process.Start will do that for you. In general, www.pinvoke.net is the place to find out how to call Win32 APIs

the .net framework base class Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices will be remedy of this problem?????

Saying ShellExecute 0&,"Open",filepath,0&,0&,3 is what i want to execute. how can i do it with Process.Start ? can you show me an example? Thanks for your advice

If you want to call a specific function.. u can call as [DllImport("USER32.DLL")] public static extern int SendMessage(int hwnd, int msg, int character, String text);
