Opening a file in my program

How can I make it so that when I open a file my program starts and displays the file contents?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I don't get what u mean by open in your program? Does that mean you want the file content to display in your own vb program or you just want to open up the file?

If that is so, you can use System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(fileURL)

I assume following things.

You are creating a file of your own extension (.xxx) through your programme.

When people exploring files and clicks on that type of file (.xxx), it should get opened with the help of your VB programme.

If this is your requirement, the following link can help you.

I hope you know how to set a register entry with the help of VB. If not, the following link will help you.
