Question

I have two different WinForms applications, AppA & AppB. Both are running .NET 2.0.

In AppA I want to open AppB, but I need to pass command-line arguments to it. How do I consume the arguments that I pass in the command line?

This is my current main method in AppB, but I don’t think you can change this?

  static void main()
  {
  }

Answer 1

static void Main(string[] args)
{
  // For the sake of this example, we're just printing the arguments to the console.
  for (int i = 0; i < args.Length; i++) {
    Console.WriteLine("args[{0}] == {1}", i, args[i]);
  }
}

The arguments will then be stored in the args string array:

$ AppB.exe firstArg secondArg thirdArg
args[0] == firstArg
args[1] == secondArg
args[2] == thirdArg
