How can I pass a Lync url from C sharp to Lync and launch the meeting?

[turbosupramk3]

Hi, Is there a way to automate (is it exposed) Lync loading a meeting url, the way that Outlook does when you click the link inside of the meeting and it calls Lync and opens the meeting? Lync 2013 and Outlook 2010 and C sharp. I've been looking through the Lync SDK and I haven't found any examples of this. I have the Lync url from Exchange already, I only need to know how to pass it to Lync and get Lync to spawn a meeting with it. Thanks

Outlook sends me a clickable link; right click on the link and select "copy hyperlink". Next, shellexecute the link.

Thanks Eddy, I figured out that it actually tries to use IE first, so I was able to mimic the same behavior with the following code

if (lyncUrl != "")
{
ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("IExplore.exe", lyncUrl);
startInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Minimized;
Process.Start(startInfo);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("Lync url is blank or non existant");
}

Weird, I had expected that it would use whatever browser would be the default. Anyway, glad it works :)
