Without using openfiledialog

Gerade Geldenhuys

I want to send files to my application without using openfiledialog....lost??

OK.

You select a file in my documents, in the SendTo menu, I want my application to be an option, when you select my application, the file that was selected should be add to the list box in my application, the same way it would do if I was using openfiledialog. But I want my application to run in the background, which means I don't want to use openfiledialog.

Please help??

did you try to set the "Arguments" and use it in your app.

OK..That a no brainer, My question is, How can I take the file path of the selected file and add it to the list box in my application?

in your setup and deployment project you can add other folders by choosing from the Add Special Folder submenu of the "File system on target machine' node"s context menu. here you can use the Send To special folder.

Whoa. OK. How do I go about doing that?

no it will invoke your application with that parameter and your application should decide what to do with that.

So what? I just add a short cut to my application in the SendTo menu and when the user selects the application, it will automatically add the file to the list box??

did you try creating a deployment project of your application and add it to special folder to show in the the users send to folder.
