Question

I want to open my app (WPF based) with a file which contains parameters written in XML format.

How can I do that?

Thanks..

As Lloyd said, in WPF instead of using the arguments in the project startup class as you would in ie WinForms you extract this from the commmand line args.
This can b done whenever so in your first window ie you could do something like this:

public Window1()
{
  InitializeComponent();
  string[] param = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs();

  // Your parameter is in the second one since the first contains the executable path or something like that
  string xmlPath = param[1];

  // Open and edit your xmlPath 
  // ....
}

Then you can simply drag&drop the xml you want ontop of your WPF executable or invoke it on commandline:

YourExecutable.exe myXml.xml
