Associated File Type

[Devlei]

I have a file extension that is associated to my application. Opening
a file with that extension starts my application OK, but how do I get
it to start with that selected file open?

With thanks
Dave

If the file association is set up correctly the file name will be
passed on the command line. Use a parameterized Main method

Shared Sub Main(ByVal CmdArgs As String())

or call System.Environm ent.GetCommandL ineArgs to retrieve the file
path.
