How can I open a document from VBNET

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have stored and retrieved the document from a database and back to a
file.
This file can be PDF, DOC, EML

I want to be able to shell(Documentname) so that windows tries to find
the appropriate program to open the document just as if the document
had been double clicked from a directory

Can anyone please advise if this is at all possible

Many Thanks

Terry
