What have you tried?

When you say "open any file" do you mean start the application that handles files of that Type, or do you mean open in the sense of reading the data/bytes in the file ?

Try:

C#

string file = @"D:\Temp\MyFile.pdf";
Process.Start(file);

The system will use whatever app is registered to handle the document type on the client PC to try and open it.
