Hi,

I have a simple application which I want to pass a string like this:
app.exe -parameter

What would be the easiest way read the parameter?
So far I've tried static void Main(string[] args) which didn't seem to work...

bye,
felix
 
Felix,

static void Main(string [] argv) should work for you.
Did you get an error or what?
 
I don't get any errors, on the other hand nothing happens if I start the
program thorugh a shortcut with a -param parameter too.

So, in the debugger, with the command line for debugging set to something
that you'll recognize, what do you see when main() runs?

Ok, I actually had to look up how you can pass arguments to the debugged program.

Then I quickly found out which stupid error I had made...

Thanks for your help.
