1.Is not possible to do this, because the web application is running on the web server and only the web application's clients are running in web browser, and desktop application is running on your computer. Also there is no redirect in the context of desktop application.

2.What you can do, is to open a web browser for your given URL directly from your desktop application, like in the example below:

C#

string url = "http://www.codeproject.com";
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(url);

1.It should work, maybe you set a wrong URL.
Here is a link from Microsoft support that confirm my solution:

2.Could you publish the sequence of code used for doing this, maybe is an error there. You could also catch the exception like is done in the Microsoft support link.
