I have a gridview control in a page. i have a column called 'VIEW' when i click any row in view column it should open popup window called "Comments Window" there will be 3 buttons in this popup 'Approve,Reject, Question' when he clicks question it should open MS outlook and when he click approve or reject should close the popup window....
and the comments window should be a usercontrol.

Place this line of code when one click on Question button

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("outlook.exe");

this will open the outlook application.

Thanks and Regards

Check if you have outlook installed in your machine or not?
If installed check the exe name that you have for outlook.

for office 2007 it is outlook.exe

So it should work.

Thanks and Regards
