Launch Internet Explorer or Default Browser from VB.NET (or C#)

I found several ways to launch IE from VB.NET, but the following approach appears to be the simplest:


Process.Start("IExplore.exe", "http://dotnetref.blogspot.com")

If you want to launch the default browser (such as Firefox), it may be easiest to just say the following:

Process.Start("http://dotnetref.blogspot.com")


and let the Shell do the work of deciding th default browser.

The C# approach is not any different, just use the approprate syntax.
