Hi,

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("mailto:address@domain.com")

The above code works perfectly with VS.Net2005 but it doesn't work in VS.Net2003 and i am getting the error message as

The parameter is incorrect
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: The parameter is incorrect

Source Error:

Line 47:
Line 48: Private Sub cmdemail_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdemail.Click
Line 49: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("mailto:address@domain.com")
Line 50: End Sub
Line 51: End Class

Any Idea?
Thx

Hi,

Because it is simpler to use. Wonder why the same code doesn't work with VB.NET 2003 ? Any Idea
Thx

no way can this be running on a server. this must be in a client app.

do you have ShellExecute set to true? I think it needs to be true for this to work.

You are right.! Here is my code, Just One line. it works on vb.net2005. Any idea why it doesn't work on vb.net2003.?

Protected Sub cmdemail_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdemail.Click
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("mailto:")
End Sub

try something more like this:


using (System.Diagnostics.Process p = new System.Diagnostics.Process())
{
    p.StartInfo.FileName = "mailto:address@domain.com";
    p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = true;
    p.Start();
}

this is how you would do it in C#. vb syntax is similar probably. not sure as I hate vb syntax and refuse to learn it
