read command line switch

Question

I'm trying to read user arguments in a C# application. I know how to read them based on position with

string[] args = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs();

but I'd like to read them from switches such as

app.exe /f /d:foo

I'm really struggling to find any information on doing this...

Why don't you just parse the array of arguments passed and act based on them, like this

foreach (string arg in args)
{
    switch (arg.Substring(0, 2).ToUpper())
    {
        case "/F":
            // process argument...
            break;
        case "/Z":
            // process arg...
            break;
        case "/D":
            paramD = arg.Substring(3);
            break;
        default:
            // do other stuff...
            break;
    }
}
