Is it possible to open an html page from silverlight web application in chrome/firefox ?

Issue is I have 3 broswers installed on my windows pc. 1.IE 2.Chrome 3.Firefox

I would like to open the html page from silverlight web application in Chrome and not in IE.

I am using following code to open the page.

HtmlPage.Window.Navigate(new Uri("Google.com")); // Opens in IE. But I want it to open in Chrome.

Thanks.

    why now set chrome as your default browser..? – MethodMan Sep 18 '14 at 18:13
  • You can also then for debugging (as VS does not like to attach automatically to other browsers) attach to the process running in chrome/firefox and debug normally then – Nyra Sep 18 '14 at 18:18
  • @DJKraze It is on the client computer and I cannot ask him to set the default browser. – HP1988 Sep 18 '14 at 19:05
  • @alykins I can do that but finally I need to open this page programmatically in chrome so that it works on the user computer as well. – HP1988 Sep 18 '14 at 19:06
  • then why not have him open the url in Chrome is he that lazy – MethodMan Sep 18 '14 at 19:06
  • @DJKRAZE yes.I can not ask him to open it in chrome. Same reaction when I got this issue item assigned(Seriously you cannot open this in chorme). – HP1988 Sep 18 '14 at 19:10

I think you can try this approach ..

  1. From silverlight start the process ( the browser you want to open .. here the challenge would be you need to the path where browser is installed. )
  2. Mostly all browsers support command line arguments ( url is one of them )

you may need to combine these both to achieve your requirement.

for step one as example how to start a process you can refer this link #1

for step 2 you can refer this link #2 example mozilla

Use below code to open .html page from silverlight application.

HtmlPage.Window.Navigate(new Uri(Application URL + "../index.html"), "_blank");
