  Hi All, Does anyone know how to call an external application from a Visual Basic .Net software that runs on a Windows CE (4.2 .Net) device I was thinking that maybe using some sort of ShellExecute API function like on Windows-32 could work, but I haven't found an appropriate API function for Windows CE. If anyone has an answer, please let me know it. Thanks. Ian

  The standard CompactFramework supports Process.Start().

  Hi Ian

  For .NET CF 1.0: OpenNETCF (www.opennetcf.org) provides a class OpenNETCF.Diagnostics.Process for this purpose.

  For .NET CF 2.0 you can use the class System.Diagnostics.Process instead.
  Support for Windows CE.NET 4.2 will be available in the upcomming SP1.
