Question

I have a WinForm,

I am have added command line functions as so-

foreach (string arg in args)
        {

            if (arg == "-id")
            {
                string u = "";

                ADODB.Connection ADconn = new ADODB.Connection();
                string connstr = "db connection string";

                ADconn.ConnectionString = connstr;

                object recs;

                ADODB.Recordset rs = new ADODB.Recordset();

                ADconn.Open(connstr);

                string qry = string.Format("Select ID from TABLE where NO = '" + args[counts + 1] + "'");

                rs = ADconn.Execute(qry, out recs, 0);

                for (; !rs.EOF; rs.MoveNext())
                {
                    string test = rs.Fields["column"].Value.ToString();

                    u = test;

                }

            }

            counts = counts + 1;
        }

Therefore args[counts + 1] is whatever variable the user input in the command line after -id. I need to use this value later on in my code however how can I do this?

One option is to create a class with static properties that encapsulate the command line arguments, e.g.

public class RunConfiguration
{
    public static int Id { get; set; }
}

Initialize the values in your main() routine. You can then reference them anywhere in your program like

int id = RunConfiguration.Id;
