Hi,

I have

static void Main(string[] args)
{
string dbConn = args[0]; // error here, "Index was
outside the bounds of the array."
}

However, when I run the debugger, it gives me an error about "Index
was outside the bounds of the array."

How shall I get this fixed? Thanks.
 
You need to check for nulls and lengths and such.

if(null!=args)
{
if(args.Length > 0) // or the .Count property is typical (not just
talking about this specific object)
{
string x = args[0];
}

}


Do Not write code that just blows up. Do some checking. Be proactive.



Are you passing in command line arguments? In the debugger, apparently you
are not.

I need to pass arguments from a task/job, how shall I debug now? At
this point, I'm unable to create a task/job because I don't have that
permission yet. However, I want to know how I can debug.
