associate extension with app

[joecoolish]

k, so i was wondering how you associate a custom extension (in my case, f22) with an application? and (more importantly) when that file is double clicked, or choosen with "Open With" how do you open that file automatically? I have the file->open menu all working, but when i do an open with, it just runs the application and doesn't load the file. any help would be great!

It sounds like you have the file association set in windows explorer, and that you just need to get your application to accept the command-line argument. Correct?

If so, your [tt]Main[/tt] method should be accepting an array of strings as an argument. It should be one of the two forms, depending on whether you want to return a value from it.

static int Main(string[] args)
static void Main(string[] args)
