Is there a way to add a paramater to opening the application?

For instance. If I have a windows form that will modify a registry value,
and I'd like to set it up so that it either closes after it runs, or it stays
open. What I'd like to do is add a paramater to the command line that will
indicat this. Like:

c:\editreg.exe -close

and the "-close" paramater would be passed into a variable somehow that
would allow me to program it so that the program would automatically close
when it's finished running...

Any other ways I can accomplish this?

Add this code to a module file and select 'Sub Main' as startup object in
the project properties:

[VB.NET]
\\\
Public Module Program
Public Function Main(ByVal Args() As String) As Integer
For Each Arg As String In Args
Console.WriteLine(Arg)
Next Arg
End Function
End Module
///

[C#]
\\\
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
foreach (string arg in args)
Console.WriteLine(arg);
}
///

Just modify your Main method so that it takes an array of strings, and
that array will be the command line parameters.
 
oh! score! sounds easy enough.
