How do I, in my (2005) application, cause a file with a certain extention to
be associated with my application?

Typically this is done as part of the application's setup. If you want to
add/remove the association within your application, check out the sample
from mentalis.org mentioned in another reply.

Well one of the selling points of DotNet apps is no need to install... what
I plan on doing is to make the file association on startup if it's not
already there. Then I can allow users the benefit of being able to
double-click on a "project" file, and yet not require an install.

Maybe its a bad idea, I don't know I've never done it before. I've always
stored data in a database so this file saving thing is new to me.
