I have created a C# command line application that creates a few reports automatically for my client. However, even though they use 95% of the same code I would like to split them in to different processes. I am using Windows task scheduler to run them. How do I set up the C# application to accept Command line parameters upon runtime?
I cannot find any explanation of this on the internet.
All command line parameters are passed to your application through string[] args parameter.
The code below shows an example:
using System.Linq;
namespace MyApp
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (args.Contains("/REPORT1"))
{
/* Do something */
}
else if (args.Contains("/REPORT2"))
{
/* Do something */
}
}
}
}
Then, in command prompt just use:
C:\MyApp\MyApp.exe /REPORT1
The below snippet will print the number of parameters passed from the command line... string[] args contains the parameter values...
class TestClass
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Display the number of command line arguments:
System.Console.WriteLine(args.Length);
}
}
static void Main(string[] args)?
