VB.NET Open word document

Question

In VB.NET how do you open a word/PDF doc? I used to have the code and I remember it was very short.

Answer 1

Assuming there is an app registered to handle .PDF or .DOC files, you could use the following:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\path\filename.pdf")
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\path\filename.doc")

Answer 2

Are you thinking of VSTO (Visual Studio Tools for Office)?
