rhamn, the problem with what you are trying to do is the command would be executed only on the server, not the client side. I personally do not know of any way to use Process.Start on the client machine. This is by design; imagine for a moment if we had that kind of power on client machines. While our intentions may be pure, others have more nefarious purposes in mind. I suspect you may need to use some type of client application, Adobe Flash, or Silverlight.

On my computer when I use the Run command and insert: printmanagement.msc

It opens no problem is there not a way to shell or shell execute?

Hi,

It seems to work because your development machine is both the web server and the client. But once deployed to a real web server your server side C# code will run on the server side and you won't see anything on the client side. Not sure what you are trying to do but keep in mind that a web app is restricted by design for safety (basically the browser is just a sandox). I suspect you may have some printing code that won't work either.

Or if you meant a Windows Form rather than than a Web Form see rather a Windows programming forum at the msdn.microsoft.com site...
