Question

I\'m using VB.NET and Visual Studio 2008.

My question is: How do I open Notepad from a Windows Forms application, and then place some text string in the Notepad wind

Answer 1

The trick here is to make a text file, and pass it to Notepad as a command line argument, or, if Notepad is the default application for ".txt", you can shell straight to the filename.

You can use the arguments collection ProcessStartInfo to pass the filename if required.
