c# open file always show “Open With” dialog

问题

I have a c# application, which downloads a file, and should always show the Open With dialog, regardless if the extension is a known extension or not.

I tried

global::System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("rundll32.exe",
                string.Format("shell32.dll,OpenAs_RunDLL \"{0}\"", filename));

but, when I try to open a .png file, the "Open With" dialog does not show and the file gets opened with my default image viewer.

The user should be able to choose an application (eg. maybe he wants to edit the file instead of viewing it). Is there a way to force Vista to show the open with dialog, so the user can choose ?

This article is what you're looking for, I believe:

Calling the Open With dialog box from your application, using C#

The code should work in Vista too.
