Opening/Selecting Editors

Hello,

I am having a bit of trouble with what might be a fairly simple task. I am looking to open a rather large (12k lines/ 5M) log file. I was unable to simply insert it within my form in a rich text box ( it just hung).

I decided what might be better would be allowing the user to open the file with whichever editor they prefer (WordPad,ConText,ect...) I was unable however to find a way of launching an application (and having it open the selected file).

I am very new to .net and I would really appreciate any direction or advice that might be offered. (My experiance lies in Java so J# commands would be prefered but certainly not necessary)

Thanks Again

    Hi,

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean. I am looking for a way to open a text file in say WordPad by clicking a button in my form. I don't have any code as I have not been able to find any way to do this thusfar.

    The issue stems from my inital attempt at loading a very large string into a Rich Text Box which hadn't completed after about 3 min. I can open the same file in Context,Wordpad, or even notepad in a second or 2 and I want my users to have the ability to bring up the entire file should they wish.

    I hope this clarifies it a little bit ,mostly I wan to be able to insert a VERY large sting into a Rich text box, or preferably open a file within Wordpad from within my Form.

    Thanks again for your time

    Brent
