How to open pdf file from my windows form?

Question

Hello I want to open a pdf file when clicking the button. I have this code so far using the FileOpenDialogBox: private void button1_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { openFD.InitialDirectory = C:; openFD.Title = Open dogov; openFD.FileName = ; openFD.Filter = PDF Files(*.pdf)|*.pdf; openFD.ShowDialog(); Chosen_file = openFD.FileName; openFD.FilterIndex=1; openFD.FileName=Chosen_file; try { if (openFD.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { textBox15.Text = this.openFD.FileName; } } finally { } } and I fill the textbox with the file path. Now I would like to open the pdf file when clicking on the textbox which contains the path but I don't know how. Can anybody help me please? I would appreciate any help a lot.

Try this: private void textBox15_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { if (textBox15.Text.EndsWith(.pdf)) { System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(textBox15.Text); } }
