You've going to have to go into a bit more detail than this. Are you asking how to launch any file like you double-clicked in the file in Explorer or entered the filename in the Start/Run box??

Assuming this is Winforms, rather than web based:

VB

Process.Start(myFilePath)

Should do it.
You probably can't do what you want if it is web based, as the code is executed on the Server, not the Client.
