Can an application trigger another application in Pocket PC Envoirnment

Hi!
If somebody can please guide me over here, it will be greatly appreciated.
I want to run an application (written in VB.net) that triggers another application on my pocket PC. Is this possible?

I know it works for windows envoirnment but I am not too sure if it will work for Pocket PC Envoirnment. Any sort of feedback will be helpful.

Thanks

It is possible. You can use System.Diagnostics.Process to launch another application. System.Diagnostics is available in V2 of compact framework. If you are using V1 projects you will not be able to use this.

Hi,

And to add to Anand's answer, if you are using v1 of CF then you can either using P/Invoke to call the CreateProcess or ShellExecuteEx API methods, or using the OpenNETCF.Diagnostics.Process class which matches that of the full framework (www.opennetcf.org/sdf/)
