Does anyone know how to get command line arguments from a .NET CF App when
the command line is called after the program is running? Is this possible?

Thanks.
 
public static void Main( string[] args)

args array contains are command line arguments.

Best regards,

Unfortunately this won't work on PPC, as the second instance is never
launched and the CF itself eats the call - leaving your command line in
nowhere land (I'm tempted to say it's sent to /dev/null). It's a limiation
of the PPC, and a really poor architecture choice on the part of MS (IMHO).
In CF 1.0 you could rename the AGL_PARK window so you could get the second
instance, then handle the command line, but CF 2.0 broke that. The
workaround is to write a native "launcher" shim that takes the command-line
params and shoots them to a thread in the native app over something like a
MsgQueue or MessageWindow. Ugly.
