How To Open Multiple Files Using "open With" Command Line Arguments
May 15, 2012I have an application that can read certain types of files, and I have it working so that if you do "open with" from windows, it automatically starts the application and opens the selected file.
Unfortnately, I cannot get it to work for more than one file.
System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() contrains the following:
System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(0) = name and path to the .exe
System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(1) = name and path to the first file selected to be opened
System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().Length is 2 when the user tries to open 1 file, which makes sense since the first argument is the .exe itself and the 2nd is the path to the file, but it does not increase to 3 if the user tries to open 2 files... meaning that System.Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(2) is never populated Here is some sample code that shows the problem: It will recognize no files or 1 file being opened, but if you try to open multiple it will only show the first.

View 1 RepliesOpen Many Files As You Go Or All At Once?
Jan 8, 2011I have many container files on a hard drive, inside of them are many images. I have to get a particular image by using an ID to do this I have to go trough each of the container files and find the one which has the ID in it then I can retrieve the image.
I think I have 3 options:
load all the images at start up into memory, some images may or may not be used. as I need each image go through all the container files and open the image into memory. create a dictionary of IDs and what file they are in at start up and then get each image as I need it without have to go through all the container files.

View 1 RepliesCan't Open Files In VB Project
Nov 6, 2009I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional Edition, and I have a large windows forms project I have been working on. My computer froze up and I had to reboot. After reboot I opened my project, all the files loaded although I got a message telling me that the document load was skipped because of the way the project opened the last time. I am able to debug and run the program so the app is ok. but when I double click on a form to open it nothing happens. Even if i right click it and select "View Designer" or "View Code" nothing happens. No errors just nothing. I was able to open other projects with no problem but not this one, and this project is the only one that matters.

View 17 RepliesOpen Files Without Locks?
Apr 20, 2010I am opening a bunch of excel files to read them line by line into sql at the moment - but ran into a small problem. When using something like this[code]...
if I then open the file manually, it will error the code. I put in some error protection, a try...catch block and if it errored, it will keep trying to open the file. If it opens the file, that means I closed it manually and the program will pick up from where it left off.
This isn't very successful, as other errors won't be trapped right, and the program will crash if I don't catch the errors (they cause an infinite error looping).
Is there a way to have the app/file open somehow, so if I open any other excel file, it won't open, or it will open but not error out in the program cause it's now physically open?
