Hello friends,

I am about to write a little code in VB NET that when I click a button labelled <Open>, it displays a JPEG image (stored on disk) using the "Windows Picture and Fax Windows".

So it comes down to right click on the file physically, then do "open with" and choose among the programs' "Windows Picture and Fax Windows".

Here is the snippet I plugged in my button click event and It did not work as expected:

'An instance of the Process class
Sun proc As New System.Diagnostics.Process ()
Name of the executable to launch
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "c: \ windows \ system32 \ shimgvw.dll"
'Arguments to pass to the executable to launch
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = "c: \ test.jpg"
'Start the process
proc.Start ()
'It frees resources that are needed most.
proc.Close () 'Warning Close does not terminate the process.
