[RESOLVED] Create a Custom URL Handler

[wrack]

Hey Guyz,

This is a little diffrerent question from normal development I have to do. I have searched for this but couldn't find any solution here.

Doesn't have to be in VB.NET, could be in C# or just point me to the right registry entries that needs to be created to make this work and I am happy too.

Anyways we have a windows client server application called let's say "CoolApp". Now a third party is developing a web front-end using the Interface, BL and DL dlls. They want to add a functionality when user does some specific search on a records lets say a customer with the id of 12345, and then they can send an email to anyone with the access to the application where the link in the email would look something like;

CoolApp://Customer@Id=12334

When the user clicks on that link in the email, it launches the application and open the customer form and shows the customer with id 12345.

Hopefully this makes sense so far. So the question is how do I create that MIME type called "CoolApp" so it acts like a normal http:// or ftp:// addresses?

Cheers
