!! I made the drop file script.. I just have problems at get url script.

I think you should be able to parse the shortcut (.url-file) with an INI-file parser. — Caramiriel, Jan 03 '19 at 19:14
It's not very clear and specific question on C#. it seems you are asking how to read url from screenshot. Could you explain more? — NativeKepler11, Jan 03 '19 at 19:18

Opening steam applications is very simple, if you know the location of your steam.exe.

 System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe","steam://rungameid/730");

In my case (i think its default as well) you can start an application just by giving the path of the steam.exe and passing the content of the shortcut as argument.

Edit: If you want to get the argument value you can just read the File using

File.ReadAllLines(path);

And get the argument from the string, which will then look like this:

        string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop) + "/Golf With Your Friends.url");
        string argument = lines.ToList().FirstOrDefault(item => { return item.Contains("steam://"); }).Replace("URL=", "");
        System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe", argument);

One funny thing: You can not enter matchmaking in cs:go when starting it this way because VAC cannot verify the session. Just experienced it :D – lorenzw Jan 03 '19 at 20:56
What do you mean with "url"? – lorenzw Jan 04 '19 at 11:42

If you run game with Process.Start(steam://rungameid/xxx) it will verify steam session so VAC session will be verified – SAMOHACKS Jan 04 '19 at 13:26
