How can I get arguments in a Form program?

Question

How can I get the arguments of a Form program? In a console application, I can use args[] , but what about a Form application?

Answer 1

One easy way:

 string[] args = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(); 

Alternatively, you can change the main call to include parameters (in Program.cs):

 static void Main(string[] args) { 

Then you need to pass it to your form and modify the form constructor accordingly (provided that where you need args ):

 public Form1(string[] args) { 

Answer 2

When you create a WinForm application in C #, the editor creates the Program.cs file for you. This is where the main one is, and that is where the arguments are available.

This is a bit of an IDE “magic” for lack of a better term. There is also a “main” function, it just starts an instance of your main form and all that is required for you. Open this file and see.

Answer 3

You need to change the form constructor to accept the args parameter.

eg:

 public void Form1(string[] args) { }
