Dropping a file to start an application 1

[JLizOB]

I am trying to make it so that when a user drops a file onto my exe icon I can grab the location of the file and begin processing. How would I go about doing this? Is there an event that is triggered when a file is dropped on the exe itself? thanks!

I think you may get an argument passed to your application.

Look in your void main(string[] args) method likely in the Program.cs file.

I got a static void Main() method in my Program.cs file, but that is it. I'm not sure how to pull any arguments from that?

I added the string[] args to the Main, I can't seem to figure out what method is getting called now when the program opens up when a file is placed on it?

I got it working now, Thanks so much for your help JunkMonkey!

Good work on piecing that together.
