Passing command-line arguments in another form

nevermind, problem has been solved.

Hi.
I have registered a file association with my program, and when the file is clicked I want it to open with my application by passing a command line argument. I have already done this and in Program.cs I have added:
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
Main x = new Main();
x.Launch(args[0]);
Application.Run(x); // I also tried Application.Run(new Main());
}

Launch is a function in my main form, I want to pass the arguments there. From there, I want to change the text of the form (this.Text = args for example), but it doesn't work.

Can someone please help me pass the argument to the main form so I can use it there on my main form?

hi,

overload the form() contructor and pass the argument in the constructor after calling the initializeComponent() set the text to the value that you passed into the form constructor.
Implementation:
Form(string arg)
{
InitializeComponent();
textbox1.text=arg;
}

Create new instance of form in main:
Form f=new Form(arg[0]);
