Check file parameter

[Ronni Marker]

Hi, Is there any who know how i can check it a user have pit an parameter behind the application name? ie. myapp.exe parameter I want to load a text file into a text field, and would like to know if it was possible to find out if the file could be loaded with a parameter like myapp.exe "C:\mytext.text" if im not not wrong this is also the way file extentions are loaded when you register an extention to your application.

Use the property Environment.CommandLine to see the full commandline (including the program itself). Or use the method Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() string cmd = Environment.CommandLine; string[] cmds = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(); You can check for if (cmds.Length == 2) cmds[0] will be the path of your app, and cmds[1] (if it exists) will be the first parameter after it

If you're asking how to know if your app has been started with command lines, yes. In your static void Main(string[] args) function, args will contain any parameters passed to your app.
