Question

I am passing parameters from start-run to my windows application.
What I came to know is that you cannot pass more than 259 characters .
I have an windows application in C# where I want to pass arguments.
Initially I gave as commandline arguments, using the enviorment.getcommandlineargs, which did work successfully.
Now the client made a new requirement that instead of going to the command prompt and sending the arguments, he will be sending from start-run line (he will not go to the command prompt). That exe consist of parameters whose length exceeds 259 characters.

How I am supposed to cope up in this scenario.

Answer 1

Use an application config file rather than command line arguments if you have that many configurable items.

If necessary you could always accept the config file location as a command-line argument.
