C# and windows

Hi everybody, I'm new on this forum.
I've been programming for a while now but I was never told how to for example when a button is clicked in my application open win explorer with some folder, for example c:\. I know the part about handling the mouse click event, but the problem are functions for opening win explorer. I guess its got something to do with winApi??

Also I would very much appreciate some short tutorial about those kind of functions, or at least under what namespace are they all.

Hi there and welcome,

Most of the calls fall under the Google namespace:

You'll also find a number of useful pointers under the Smart.Questions namespace:

Cheers,

If anyone is interested here is the code:

Code:

using System.Diagnostics;

Process.Start("explorer.exe", locationToOpen.Text);
