If you have set up an association with a particular file type for your application, Windows will pass the file name to it as a command line argument when a file is selected. In the
static void main(string[] args)method for your application, the file name can be referenced usingargs[0]. If you need to set up the file association programmatically, there is an article here on CodeProject[^] that explains how to do it.Paul Marfleet
