Command Line Arguments in C# Applications in 10 Minutes or Less

[@connormccarter9581]

This is awesome! Now I can update my console app to winform and retain the right click functionality.

[@IAmTimCorey]

Great!

The C programming Language By Brian W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie. Published by Prentice-Hall in 1988 ISBN 0-13-110362-8 (paperback) ISBN 0-13-110370-9 This is where I learned both C and CLI from and I’ve never forgotten it, it was the bible before the internet blew up and we still had DOS.

Command Line Arguments can also be added in the project's properties.

[@IAmTimCorey]

Yep.

Hi Tim, thanks for the great "short" video. Is there a good open source library which you could recommend to use to parse/handle the command line options; I would like to avoid implementing this. Regards Christian

Tim, Quick question, what Extension are you using for the different coloured Braces ? Thanks

[@IAmTimCorey]

It is built into Visual Studio. Here is a video on how to enable it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWKqhpWglsidgbMsi=rzQzhflQ7PkmPiwb

Spot on thanks :)@@IAmTimCorey

Is this only in .net 8 or can you use command line args in winforms with .net framework 4.8?

[@IAmTimCorey]

You can use command line arguments with .NET Framework as well.

Hello Tim, I have a question to ask :) I have subscribed to your tutorials but there are different videos in your KZbin channel. Before starting tutorials, I am a little bit confused. Do you have suggestions?

[@Lukas-gx9qk]

I suspect you mean you subscribed to the channel @IAmTimCorey You can look through all these playlists, or just through the videos and find topics that interest you: www.youtube.com/@IAmTimCorey/playlists

[@IAmTimCorey]

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question. Are you asking what order to watch my videos in? If so, I don't have one because my content isn't linear like that. However, the Path to C# in 2024 video should help you figure out what order to learn C# in: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3bVo36LZsmkZsksi=NgyuEfNipL6O8ec1

Why do you have to do this ./ infront of the executable?

[@IAmTimCorey]

I was using PowerShell, which requires an included path.

[@AvgDan]

MS should have made the template include a code comment with something like "// Current scope is Main(string[] args)" when using top level statements.

[@IAmTimCorey]

They linked to the documentation that explains that. Trying to put just that in a code comment would be incomplete, because it doesn't also cover return types, async, etc.

[@AvgDan]

​@@IAmTimCoreyI could see how it could use more explanation, but I'd hate to be just starting out, not having prior experience before it was taken away.
