Hi,
I'd like to have a function that opens a link in the user's web
browser. Googling about it I didn't find an arch-independent solution.
The best I could do until now is:
public static bool OpenLink(string address) {
try {
int plat = (int) Environment.OSVersion.Platform;
System.Diagnostics.Process proc;
if ((plat != 4) && (plat != 128)) {
// Use Microsoft's way of opening sites
proc = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(address);
} else {
// We're on Unix, try several browsers
string cmdline = String.Format("firefox {0} ||
mozilla-firefox {0}" +
" || epiphany {0} || galeon {0} || opera {0} ||
dillo {0}", address);
proc = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(cmdline);
// Sometimes we need to wait for bash
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(500);
}
return (!proc.HasExited || proc.ExitCode == 0);
} catch {
return false;
}
}
I'd like to know what you think about it, and if there's a better
solution. Also, I think that a snippet of code showing how to do this
should be put on mono-project.com, as this may help other people too.
Cya,
Felipe.
