Open SMB Link in web browser

Question

I would like to be able to click on a link in the browser (Safari or FireFox) and view the document. This works for the http protocol but I can't get it to work for SMB on OS X. See the examples below. The first example works but the second example requires and actual SMB file share.

This is how we share documents and it Works on MS Windows in IE, anyone know if this is possible on OS X?

Answer 1

The following will open the IE web browser and browse to the given URL:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("explorer.exe", @"http://www.microsoft.com");
...or file:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"iexplore.exe", @"C:\test\test.html");
Using another browser is just a matter of specifying the path to it, e.g:
//open Chrome:
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe", @"http://www.microsoft.com");
