Command Line Arguments

[Brian Scott]

Is it possible to get the full command line argument string that was used to
launch your current process other than using the args[]. I would like to see
the original string before the args are interpreted.

Thanks.

System.Environment.CommandLine

string arguments = String.Join(" ", args);

Frisco,

That is what i was using prior but using the Environment variable seems
better as we can also see the execution path. I was trying to debug invalid
user enterred arguments.

Thanks

You cant however rely on that the execution path is in that string.

The user might have changed directory prior to start your application:
cd c:\dev
YourApp "An Argument"
or he might not:
c:\dev\YourApp.exe "An Argument"

but you are probably aware of that already.

 

[Brian Scott]

No I wasn't aware, thanks for pointing that out.

If you want the path to your application at runtime, you can do:
string fullPath =
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().Location;
