effect drag and drop file icon on my program effect

Question

How can I achieve the effect of dragging an arbitrary file icon on the icon of my program? That is, I want to make it so that if I drag a file to my program, the program starts and opens this file. In the figure, MyProgram is a program in C # that I write. File is the file I want to open.

The default effect of this is that the filename is passed as a command line argument. Check the CommandlineArgs and handle the opening on program start. — Jens, Mar 26 '17 at 18:09

As Jens commented you may check Environment.GetCommandLineArgs or you can just use main method arguments:

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
    if (args.Length > 0)
          Console.WriteLine(args[0]); // Here's the file path
}
