C# Open File With Associated Application passing arguments

Question

I am trying to launch the default application registered for an extension specifying an additional argument:

 ProcessStartInfo p = new ProcessStartInfo();
          


        

Answer 1

what exactly is your "argument", does it have spaces, backslash, etc?

    Process process = new Process();
    process.StartInfo.FileName = @"C:\process.exe";
    process.StartInfo.Arguments = @"-r -d something else";
    process.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = false;
    process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
    process.Start();

Is there any reason why you cant start the app, then use the extension and arguments in your arguments?
