Hi<br />
<br />
I am trying to open the default mail app (Outlook in my case) on the client side from a web based application written in vb.net.<br />
<br />
In the local application it works fine using for a basic example:<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-29138407-1">Import System.Diagnostics
Process.Start(&quot;mailto:somebody@domain.com&quot;)</code></pre>
<br />
However, the web application appears to be trying to run on the server side rather than the client side. Does anyone know a way around this to allow it to open the mail app for a user?<br />
<br />
Note: I am able to send emails automatically via the SMTP server but I would like the user to see the contents first so would like to open in an email client.<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
