Hello,

I want to allow the user to mail me by clicking a button on a Windows Form the same way I can set up a mailto-link on a web-page.

I tried the following syntax:
   System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("mailto:johan.seg [email protected]")

When the statement is executed no mail pops up but an exception is thrown:
   An unhandled exception of type 'System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception' occurred in system.dll
   Additional information: ERROR_IPSEC_IKE_NEG_STATUS_END

That exception did not tell me anything so I tried using ShellExecute directly. The return value was 5 which is an error code for "Access is denied". (I have done the same thing in VB6 and it worked.)


How can I set up my computer/application/assembly to receive the proper rights?


Thanks
Johan

I'm replying to myself as I figured out the problem.
The syntax works. And it's not a .Net security problem.

However I had declared my 'static void Main' without the STAThread-attribute. After I added it mailing works.
