how can i run an application by clicking the document file
attached to, like doc file. clicking doc file run Word,
How can i attached a file prefix to a given app.
Thanks
 
A quick way to do it is let System.Diagnostics.Process handle it.
The code below opens wmsetup.log using the default text editor,
notepad.exe

Process.Start(@"C:\WINNT\wmsetup.log");

Cheers!

Click to expand...

How would you go about clicking the file with the mouse?

And, do you want this program to run on the client, or on the server?
 
I might have misunderstood your original question...
It seems you are asking about how to create a file association...

An MSDN search reveals the concept of associating an application
to a file class/extension (search on "Creating a File Association")
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...sics_extending/fileassociations/fileassoc.asp

Basically, you just create registry entries for the file types that you want
associated with your application.

If you have setup project for your application, you can easily associate
a file through the File Types editor.

Finally, if you are in a haste, there is a File Association class in
mentalis.org
that you can reuse... http://www.mentalis.org/soft/classes.qpx

Does this answer your question?

Cheers!
