How to start a process from C# (WinForms)

I developed a speech recognition application. Now, all I want to do is something like

if(voiceRecognize == browser)
   //Open a browser

I think you understand what I mean. I know it is possible but how can I perform this task??

Any sample code or tutorial link will be appreciated.

Thanks

Take a look at Process.Start(). You may be able to launch an actual webpage kinda like this:

Process.Start("\"%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe\" /\"http://www.google.com\"");

or just `Process.Start("http://www.google.com");` – Alex R. Jul 13 '12 at 03:28

Yeah, don't hard-code to IE :( – Blorgbeard Jul 13 '12 at 03:28
I assume that would launch it in the default browser... cool. Didn't realize Process.Start() was that smart :) – jwatts1980 Jul 13 '12 at 03:29
@Blorgbeard: It's just an example. But I totally get your point. – jwatts1980 Jul 13 '12 at 03:30
@jwatts1980, yup you can also pass it any file and it will open it with the default handler - .txt, .doc, .jpg, etc – Blorgbeard Jul 13 '12 at 04:15
If you wanna get tricky you can also lookup their `http` key in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT – Paul Farry Jul 13 '12 at 05:24
