I am learning C# to go towards my A-Level in computer science. My teacher has set me the task of making a programme with 3 triggers; one internal, one external and one we choose. I have done two, I just need to create the external one.

I want to be able to open up google, but neither of us can figure out why it isn't working.

What I have tried:

EVERYTHING!! (I think)

We have tried every possible solution online and nothing seems to work

Simplest way:

C#

Process.Start(@"D:\Test Data\APage.html");

Or:

C#

Process.Start(@"https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/5286855/How-do-I-open-Google-chrome-in-Csharp");

But if Chrome isn't the default browser, you need to be more specific:

C#

Process.Start("chrome.exe", @"https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/5286855/How-do-I-open-Google-chrome-in-Csharp");

And opening a file is more complex too:

C#

Process.Start("chrome.exe", @"file://D:\Test%20Data\APage.html");
