how to use file association?

hi
In MSDN,I`ve found that we can use File Types Editor
to add file extension associating with our program when
build deloy project.But i am still puzzled, when user
double clicks the associated file my application will
automatically launch, how can the application read the
file and do further process?What shall i do in my
application to open the file that the user clicks?

thanks

Typically your application will get the file [the filethat
is double clicked] name and path as parameters. And in teh
application you process this file.
