Process.Start to open an URL, getting an Exception?

I'm trying to open an URL following a simple method written all over google and even MSDN. But for unknown reasons I get an Exception as follows:

Win32Exception was unhandled

Message: Application not found

Here's my code:

private void linkLabel_LinkClicked(object sender, LinkLabelLinkClickedEventArgs e)开发者_开发技巧
{
    ProcessStartInfo sInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("http://github.com/tbergeron/todoTxt");
    Process.Start(sInfo);
}

Any idea why it is failing?

Thanks a lot!

I had a similar issue trying this with .NET Core and getting a Win32Exception, I dealt with it like so:

var ps = new ProcessStartInfo("http://myurl")
{ 
    UseShellExecute = true, 
    Verb = "open" 
};
Process.Start(ps);

This is apparently machine-specific behaviour (http://devtoolshed.com/content/launch-url-default-browser-using-c).

The linked article suggests using Process.Start("http://myurl") but catching Win32Exception and falling back to Process.Start("IExplore.exe", "http://myurl"):

try
{
  Process.Start("http://myurl");
}
catch (Win32Exception)
{
  Process.Start("IExplore.exe", "http://myurl");
}

Sadly after trying almost everything, this was the best I could do on my machine.

You are looking for the string overload of Process.Start():

Process.Start("http://github.com/tbergeron/todoTxt");

Throw start in front of it, if you want to launch in the default browser:

new ProcessStartInfo("start http://github.com/tbergeron/todoTxt");
