Hi,
This is server side code , you should write in your C# code behind method for Click event of Link Button .
- Use 1st part code in your button event handler method. (Replace <username> with current user name), best way is to find the crome.exe location at your dev machine , and paste the path here -
process.StartInfo.FileName = @""; , default location is in user's appdata folder. Test the code.
- If the above code works , and if your crome.exe is in user's appdata folder , then you will need to find dynamic location of AppData folder for every user. That means the path should not be hard coded. The 2nd part of the code is an hint for how you can
find the appdata path in C#. Something like this
//var cromePath = @"C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\chrome.exe";
var cromePath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(
Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData), "\Local\Google\Chrome\chrome.exe");
using (var process = new Process())
process.StartInfo.FileName = cromePath;
process.StartInfo.Arguments = "your url";
process.Start();
So the step will be
- First try a direct call to crome,
var cromePath = @"crome.exe";
- if it not works , then try with hardcoded path of crome.exe from your dev machine for current user -
var cromePath = @"C:\Users\<currentUserName>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\chrome.exe";
- And if this work , then try it with dynamic path for any user, find appdata folder location through code 
var cromePath = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(
Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData), "\Local\Google\Chrome\chrome.exe");
Hope this will help, if you are a C# developer then you can easily understand  the concept.
