How does one load a URL from a .NET client application

Question

What is the preferred way to open a URL from a thick client application on Windows using C# and the .NET framework? I want it to use the default browser.

Answer 1

I'd use the Process.Start method.

Process.Start("http://www.google.com/");

Answer 2

private void launchURL_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e){
 string targetURL = "http://stackoverflow.com";
 System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(targetURL);
}

Answer 3

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("http://www.stackoverflow.com");

Answer 4

The following code surely works:

Process.Start("http://www.yoururl.com/Blah.aspx");

It opens the default browser (technically, the default program that handles HTTP URIs).
