SystemUtil.Run and invokeapplication

[sudhirzpatil]

Can anyone tell me the difference between SystemUtil.Run and invokeapplication

[Prafulla]

Both of them seerves the same purpose to invoke an application.

In most situations, you should use a SystemUtil.Run statement to run applications or to open files in their default application.
The InvokeApplication statement is supported primarily for backward compatibility.

Hi Sudhir & Prafulla,

Infact InvokeApplication & Systemutil.run are not used for same purpose.

InvokeApplication : Used for invoking the .Exe (Executable) Applications only.

SystemUtil.run : used for invoking the following Applications :
--> .exe
--> .txt
--> .doc
--> .xls
--> URL's (Web Appl.) also .......

Just try it out & see ... You will come to know the difference.
