Error trying to open web page using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start

Visual C#.Net >> Error trying to open web page using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start

I have the follwong code:

private void ButtonOpen_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(" http://www.hide-link.com/ ");
}

which results in the following exception:
'An attempt was made to reference a token that does not exist '

What am I doing wrong? I'm not sure of the exact meaning of this error.
Thanks

Visual C#.Net >> Error trying to open web page using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start Following up on this if I try

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("notepad.exe");

I get no error, but notepad does not start either. I have also tried
using the full path name.

This can much shorter however to show you a full version.
\\\
System.Diagnostics.Process p =
new System.Diagnostics.Process();
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo pi =
new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
pi.FileName = "http://www.google.com";
p.StartInfo = pi;
p.Start();
///
I hope this helps?

Visual C#.Net >> Error trying to open web page using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start Thanks for the reply, but I am still getting similar results. That is,
when trying to execute "notepad.exe" I get no exception, in fact
p.Start() returns true, however notepad does not start.

When setting the filename to "http://www.google.com", I get the same
error as before, 'An attempt was made to reference a token that does
not exist ', on the line p.Start()

Any ideas?

I tested this one and did work completly

\\\
System.Diagnostics.Process p =
new System.Diagnostics.Process();
System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo pi =
new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
pi.Arguments = "c:\\windows\\win.ini";
pi.FileName = "notepad.exe";
p.StartInfo = pi;
p.Start();

Are you starting this maybe from a Service or from a Webpage (what will not
work)

I hope this helps however?

Visual C#.Net >> Error trying to open web page using System.Diagnostics.Process.Start Thanks, but still did not work, same behaviour as before. However I am
trying to start it from an .aspx page (is this what you mean by
webpage?) If that isn't going to work, can you suggest an alternative
method?

When you start this, it should start on your "webserver" when you have given
your ASPNET user rights for accessing IE exe on your WebServer and I
strongly advice you not to do that.

I don't believe that this is the process you are after.

I think that this is better for what you probably want.

Not tested roughly changed from VBNet.

HI Wade, I ran into a similar problem and I found the answer at MS - of
all places. I added the
<identity inpersonate="true" /> tag to the web.config file. Fixed that
problem, but I ran into another. Oh well!

Rick.
