I am wondering if someone could point me in the right direction. You know how for example, in most IDEs, if you open a source file with "open with", it runs the program and opens it up? and then if you open another one, it opens it in a new tab in the same process?
My question is NOT how to add a program to the shell commands, but rather:
How would a C# application "receive" a PDF file for example?
How would the application open the file in the same process when another file is run with it (not having to instances of the program)?
