hi all,
I have a textbox that has HTML in it. I would like to have a button on my winform that launches the system's default browser, and displays that html in the browser. I realize I may have to save the html to a temporary file, before I display it... so I guess the real hurdle is launching the default browser.

Does anyone know how to do that?

Thanks,
dave

Hey Dave,

If you write the html to a file, such as, c:\myfile.html

then you should be able to do:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("c:\\myfile.html");
