How to pass external parameter to Windows Form Application?

Question

C++ / C#

How to run a program and pass an external parameter there?
"C:\formApplication.exe -p param"

Answer 1

Look towards Environment.GetCommandLineArgs(). But if you need the Unix form "-p, --property", then google "C# getopt" - there are many implementations.

Answer 2

Declare a form constructor with a parameter and call it in Main

public MainForm(string parameter) : this()
{
   this.Parameter = parameter ?? String.Empty;
}
