I'm developing a C++ command-line application in Visual Studio and need to debug it with command-line arguments. At the moment I just run the generated EXE file with the arguments I need (like this program.exe -file.txt) , but this way I can't debug. Is there somewhere I can specify the arguments for debugging?

To set command-line arguments in Visual Studio, right click on the project name, then go to Properties. In the Properties Pane, go to "Debugging", and in this pane is a line for "Command-line arguments." Add the values you would like to use on this line. They will be passed to the program via the argv array.
Run to a breakpoint in code You can also select the line and then select F9, select Debug > Toggle Breakpoint, or right-click and select Breakpoint > Insert Breakpoint. The breakpoint appears as a red dot in the left margin next to the line of code. The debugger suspends execution just before the line runs.
Yes, it's in the Debugging section of the properties page of the project.
In Visual Studio since 2008: right-click the project, choose Properties, go to the Debugging section -- there is a box for "Command Arguments". (Tip: not solution, but project).
