Open HTML file in C# application

Question

I have added an HTML file to my solution in VS2010. How do you create a call to open the HTML file? For example when a user clicks a button it will locate the HTML file in my solution and open it in the web browser.

Looks like System.Diagnostics.Process.Start is the right command from c# — Yusubov, Jun 20 '12 at 04:13
what are you using c# console app/ asp.net form/asp.net mvc ? — Yusubov, Jun 20 '12 at 04:15

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(
  Server.MapPath("~/HtmlFileFolderNameInSolution/") + "HtmlFileName.htm"
