Hi Everyone,
I am trying to open a new browser i.e., If I am currently in IE I want to open a page in chrome on click of a button in current page. I did this with the following code

C#

System.Diagnostics.Process proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "safari";
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = HttpContext.Current.Request.Url;
proc.Start();

But it is opening when I hosted my application in server it does not work. Can any body help to resolve this issue?

I am in Chrome I want to open a new IE/Safari browser either serve side or client side.

thanks,
Janardhan.
