Open image in Windows Photo Viewer

Question

How to open .jpg image in Windows Photo Viewer from C# app?

Not inside app like this code,

FileStream stream = new FileStream("test.png", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read); pictureBox1.Image = Image.FromStream(stream); stream.Close(); 

Answer 1

I think you can just use:

Process.Start(@"C:\MyPicture.jpg"); 

And this will use the standard file viewer associated with .jpg files - by default the windows picture viewer.

Answer 2

Start it in a new Process

Process photoViewer = new Process(); photoViewer.StartInfo.FileName = @"The photo viewer file path"; photoViewer.StartInfo.Arguments = @"Your image file path"; photoViewer.Start();
