I have a dashboard that contains the file path to attached documents and I would like to make the path clickable, like a URL. Has anyone found an easy way to accomplish this?

I am using a Cell Click Button event get the data from the XFileRef_XFileDesc column which contains the entire path and filename. Our attachments are on a local file system.

Here is a snippet of the code. I made my cell a button calling the ClickCellButton event but you could do this with just a CellClick event also.

            private void grdResults_ClickCellButton(object sender, Infragistics.Win.UltraWinGrid.CellEventArgs args)

            {

                            switch (args.Cell.Column.Key)

                            {

                                            case "XFileRef_XFileDesc":

                                                            if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(args.Cell.Text))

                                                                            Process.Start((string)this.grdResults.ActiveRow.GetCellValue("XFileRef_XFileName"));

                                                            else

                                                                            MessageBox.Show("No Document to View");

                                                            break;
