How to pass arguments to your C# program

To pass arguments to a C# program, all what you need to do is to run the program in command prompt and provide list of arguments in front of program name:

For example:

MyProgram.exe ali noman faisal shahid

In above command 4 arguments as names are passed to the C# program MyProgram.exe

However, sometimes you may want to pass arguments to a C# program without using command line, rather, the arguments should be passed from within the visual studio IDE.

To achieve that, go to top menu,  View, solution explorer. Right click on your project’s name in solution explorer, and click on properties. A Dialog window will appear. In that window, click on Debug under “Application”

You will see a big box with title: “Command line arguments”. This is the place where you will supply the command line arguments of your program.
