Question

Trying to open an image for editing in C#

I can open the file with

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(fileItem.Path);

This seems to issue the default open command which in my case for jpg files is standard preview, is there any way to use Process to open the file with the associated “Edit” command.

Answer 1

You can use the Verb-Property of the ProcessStartInfoclass

See MSDN

ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("myfile.jpg");
startInfo.Verb = "edit";
Process.Start(startInfo);
