Unfortunately it appears to strip off everything past the file extension when using file:// :( It'll probably work with http:// prefixed but I don't have a webserver to redirect the request through (because that's way too much trouble for what I want to accomplish).

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chad M. Gross Sent: donderdag 17 juni 2004 16:10 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] launching an html page with an anchor Jeroen, Based on your sample code snipit, System.Diagnostics.Process.Start (@"c:\mypage.html");, just remeber that good old IE will take "C:\mypage.html#anchorName" in the Process.StartInfo.Arguments property. But if your lauching those other browsers like Mozilla you cannot. If you are attemping to launch a local file you should use the file:// sytax, "file://C:/mypage.html#anchorName". Also, your original problem would have been solved had you coded, System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"file://c:/mypage.html#anchorName");. But like Joakim indicated, you don't want to shell to the file directly because you could get an HTML editor.
