Hi there,

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() works fine for e.g. opening a *.doc file
with Word directly. I want to use the same function to print a file with the
corresponding application, however:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("print:file.doc") won't work. Is there
another way without falling back to the "non-dotNET" ShellExecute API?

Thanks,

Dim mos As System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher

Dim moc As System.Management.ManagementObjectCollection

Dim mo As System.Management.ManagementObject

Dim prop As System.Management.PropertyData

Dim FSO As Object

Dim txtstream As Object

Dim MyString As String

mos = New System.Management.ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM
Win32_Process")

You can start a process using it.

FYI:

Dim strFile As String = "c:\test.doc"
Dim objProcess As New System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo()

With objProcess
    .FileName = strFile
    .Verb = "print"
End With

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(objProcess)
