Why? your user chooses to use FireFox and then you force them to use IE? If I were your user I would be pissed of. I'm happy to announce that it's not possible.

And to the experts saying it's possible and talk about ActiveX and whatnot, ye ye I know, but be realistic.

Mr. Mahesh Patel 12-Sep-11 5:15am

Because my clients existing web application is compatible to firefox and my application is related to activeX object so it is compatible to IE.

I have to give the link to its existing application to open my application.
If you have solution, give me. otherwise don't go deep in my concept.

Ok here goes, I suppose you could make a plugin that adds a command to the conext menu when you right click a link and then open that link in IE.

A quick google and what do you know, someone has already made such a plugin How To Open Specific Links With Other Browsers While Using Firefox amazing.

Mr. Mahesh Patel 12-Sep-11 6:16am

No dear, I have already tested my application in IE and it is working fine.
I just want to do that, when the client's existing application is running in firefox or whatever browser except IE, when it click the button, My application should open in New window with IE Browser. Nothing else.

Have you any idea.....?

You can do nothing that will work in all browsers and you WILL have to create your own software for each browser, whether that being some kind of plugin or hooking the browser.

Have a look at this article How to use PInvoke in Silverlight 5. It seems P/Invoke will be introduced in Silverlight 5, so you might be able to call ShellExecute
