Wagner M V P <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/> V B <URL:http://classicvb.org/petition/> Hi,
I notice your reply to the starting message uses "Process.Start" and only names the target file to be played, without naming the program to play it with. Obviously, this depends on the "Type" of file (wmv) being assigned a hosting program in Windows. Is this "Process.Start" command now the equivalent of the Windows API "ShellExecute"?? Thanks.

You are not the first one who does that and have the same evolution in that. Although version 2005 has a lot of failures especial in the IDE, but that is known and we are sure that it will be solved. Our expiriences from 2002 to 2003 version (in fact almost an SP) were great. :-) Cor<b**@datasync.com> schreef in bericht Show quoteHide quote news:1150812871.475313.175750@y41g2000cwy.googlegroups.com... > Thanks.
