Re: Open a Text File in Notepad using VB.Net 2005

Forgot to mention in my previous post, the filename(s) won't make a
difference as long as the pdf file is in the BIN folder where the executing
assembly is located. I tried it with spaces, short file names and long file
names and it works. Just won't work with reserved characters (which you
know).

And then I saw what I wrote. Of course it will work as it specifies the
path.

I checked the debug path and yes the file was not in the BIN folder as
specified. I put a copy there, ran it again and still got the error.

Would it be anything to do with DOS Filenames or Long filenames or spaces
in
the file name?

Hi Chris,
Thought that was it as I had only tested the debugger but then i rebuilt
the
app and installer, installed and tested and got the same error.

BTW the line:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Program Files\My
Programs\Program\read
me.pdf")

Works just fine in both the debug and install versions so the file must
be
in the right place.

Are you testing this through the debugger? If so, the StartupPath may
not have the value you expect.

I recommend you step through the code and then inspect the value of the
..FileName property and make sure that your file exists in that
location.
