Make a phone call from Cisco Jabber using .Net console app

I am trying to make a phone call from .Net console Application using Jabber client installed on my laptop.

I want to achieve something similar that you would achieve by the following anchor command in HTML:

<a href="CISCOTELCONF:msmith@domain;amckenzi@domain">Weekly conference call</a>

I want to run the same command through my console application so that it launches Jabber and make a call.

I am not familiar with Jabber, but most likely the client has registered the CISCOTELCONF protocol (similar to how HTTP is registered to your default browser and MAILTO might open Outlook). Therefore you should be able to use Process.Start to pass the same URL to the shell, where it can decide what to do - hopefully invoking the Jabber client as it would if you clicked on the link. You can test this by copy-and-pasting the URL into Start-Run. If it works, then this should also.

var startInfo = new ProcessStartInfo("CISCOTELCONF:msmith@domain;amckenzi@domain")
{
    UseShellExecute = true
};

Process.Start(startInfo);

Note the default for UseShellExecute is true, so you do not actually need this line. I've included it anyway because this is what causes Process.Start to, well, invoke the OS shell.
