This article provides examples of how you can open a specific item using the same URL protocol used by the swExplorerLauncher from a web page or a custom application using C#.

Prerequisites

• Familiar with the SystemWeaver meta model building blocks (e.g., Items, Parts and Attributes)
• The SystemWeaver ID for the item to be opened

If the link is to be opened from a web page on by computer with swExplorerLauncher registered, something like the following should work:

<a href="swap://168.255.255.255:443/x0400000000001234">Link Text</a>

If you want to open a swap link with C# code on a computer with swExplorerLauncher registered, something like the following should work:

using System.Diagnostics;

namespace UrlOpen
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main()
        {
            Process.Start("swap://168.255.255.255:443/x0400000000001234");
        }
    }
}
