How to access command line parameters outside of Main in C#

Question

I am writing a .NET class that needs to parse the command line of the process. I don't want to have a dependency between the Main() method and that class. How can the class access the command line?

Answer 1

Call Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().

Answer 2

If you use .NET Compact Framework, Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() method isn't implemented and System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().StartInfo.Arguments returns always empty string, so you must use main function and pass arguments to your others classes.

An example :

[MTAThread] static void Main(String[] commandLineArguments) {   CommandLineHelper.parse(commandLineArguments); }  public static class CommandLineHelper {   public static void parse(String[] commandLineArguments) {     // add your code here   } } 

Answer 3

System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess().StartInfo.Arguments
