Hello. I am creating Windows Form project with custom file extension.
What I want is when I double click an icon with the new file extension, to get the filename and filepath.
Example:

C:\TestDB\NewDatabase2\NewDatabase2.abc

I need to get the path:

C:\TestDB\NewDatabase2

I need also the filename:

NewDatabase2.abc

What I have tried:

I have tried things like:

System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase

System.IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetName().CodeBase)

I am only getting the .exe name.

Have a look at the methods on the Path object

Path.GetFileName

Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension

Yes, but you need to provide a string with the path. I am not able to get the double clicked icon name on application startup.

This is the solution:
c# - Associated extension doesn't send file name to application on double click - Stack Overflow[^]
