Open windows form from link in outlook?

Question

I would please like to find out how I can launch a windows form written in c# from a link in outlook. Changes in my db will send n mail from which my application should be able to open so that the user can upload documents to a shared folder on a server.

Can someone please advise me on this thank you

You can register application with your custom protocol. In example, you can create protocol myAppProtocoland associate it with your application (ie. c:\apps\myApp.exe). Then, you can send link in mail which looks like myAppProtocol:something. When user clicks on that link, it will open your application with passed parameter something.

Take a look at following resources:
