Associating my program with a file type.

[Guest]

I can’t find this either.
When the user clicks a .crv file, it needs to open my program and load the
file.

How do I go about setting this up?

Hi L.

In VS.Net you can use a "Setup Project".

Go To File -> New Project and select Setup Project. In the Solutionexplorer
right click the Setup Project and choose "View" -> "Filetypes". In the
upcomming Window you can add Filetypes and determine the Action (i.e.
"Open") for them.

Isn’t there a way to do this without having to create an installer for my
program?
It’s just a single .exe file.

And if not, then how do I use this setup with my already-compiled program?

I don't understand your Question.

You have an already compiled Program, and you want, that this Program to
open your .crv Files?
Then why don't you add an Entry to the Windows Filetypes manually?

Or do you want to develop an application, that uses your exe-File?
Then you can use the Setup-Project of VS.Net, it is pretty easy and gives
your application the last cut...
