Hello Mitesh,

You can use the start method of Process class found in
System.Diagnostics namespace to fire up notepad from your
applications.

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("notepad.exe")

You can make the Notepad to wait till you exit by using
WaitForExit() method of Process class.

System.Diagnostics.Process p = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start
("notepad.exe","sample.txt");
p.WaitForExit();

Hi!

If you are wishing to open this file at the server side, then use the Start
method of the Process class (system.Diagnostics namespace), passing it the
name of the file to be opened.

However, at the client end, you cannot execute an application. So, you
should consider an alternative scenario.

Hi!

Well, it isn't possible to invoke an application at the client side.
however, what you can do is that read the HTML file, and send it to the
client, setting the contenttype property of the Response object to indicate
that its a Word file. Since Word can process HTML documents, and edit them,
your purpose will get solved.
