I want to write a windows app that accepts command line arguments. Does
anyone know if this can be done and if so, how to do it.

Re: command line arguments for a windows app
Executing a console app:
ConsoleApp.exe -switch2
with the following class produces this output:
Switch two activated.
Class definition:
public class ConsoleApp
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (args != null && args.Length > 0)
{
switch (args[0].Trim().ToLower ())
{
case "-switch1":
Console.WriteLi ne("Switch one activated.");
break;
case "-switch2":
Console.WriteLi ne("Switch two activated.");
break;
default:
Console.WriteLi ne("No options selected");
break;
}
}
else
Console.WriteLi ne("No options selected");
}
}

Re: command line arguments for a windows app
Will this work for a Windows Form App?

Re: command line arguments for a windows app
I'm not sure I understand. Winform projects don't have a Main(). Then have
a Form_Load with already take a certain number of parameters. It doesn't
allow you to overload it with more parameters.

They most assuredly do have a Main(). Most of the time it will be calling
Application.Run on your form.
Are you using VB by chance? If you are, you might have to ask someone who
knows the langauge better as I believe the default setup generates the Main
for you instead of having it in code explicitly.
