C# Web Opening.

[Andrew_b]

ok i looked in the web tutorial 3 times...might have missed it.
I have a textBox1 and i want to have what ever you type in...it opens it in a web browser (the default browser on the computeR)

I dont know how to do this but and deleted what i had.

I had like this (textBox1.ToString); or something..and yes i know thats only the last part.

Add this to the top of your code file:

Code: Select all

using System.Diagnostics;

Then use this to open the link in the text box.

Code: Select all

if (Uri.IsWellFormedUriString(textBox1.Text, UriKind.Absolute))
    Process.Start(textBox1.Text);

is there a way so it doesnt need the http://www. ?

You could always just check if the string has it present, and if not, add it.

Or just remove the if i put there. The if just checks if the string in the text box is a valid URL.

didnt think of deleting the if. Thanks.
