My application gets executed but i coul开发者_如何学编程d not get the path of file on which i right clicked

How exactly did you add that context menu item? You need to pass the file name somewhere which is usually done by putting %1 into the command line to be executed.

So if the command you're currently executing is

"C:\Program Files\MyCoolProgram\mcp.exe"

it should be

"C:\Program Files\MyCoolProgram\mcp.exe" %1

Take a look here: A simple C# function to add context menu items in Explorer and notice this part:

AddContextMenuItem(".zip", "ZipStrip",
  "Open with &ZipStrip", Application.ExecutablePath + " %1");

This way you'll receive your full file path as first argument on your Main(string args[])

EDIT: If you need to deal with arguments containing white spaces, try this:

AddContextMenuItem(".zip", "ZipStrip",
  "Open with &ZipStrip", Application.ExecutablePath + " ""%1""");

This way you argument will be enclosed into double quotes, preserving that white spaces.

The path is passed as a command line arguments. In the entry point, you can access it by defining a string[] argument:

static void Main(string[] args) {
    // the path is passed in the `args` array.
}

It should also be available by calling Environment.GetCommandLineArgs method.
