is there kinda getOptions available?

Hi,

I don't think it exists in the FCL.

It's not really that difficult without one though. You can take a string[] in
the main method as such:

static void Main(string[] args)
{
}

From here it's a simple matter of iterating the string collection and figuring
out if each value corresponds to a switch that is supported in your
application. The supported formats of the switches are entirely up to you.

Hello Twig,

Specify the "string[] args" as the Main method signature and use args to
manipulate with your command line args.
Another case is to use Environment.CommandLine property

I don't think there is one. You simply use the "Main" overload that takes
an array of strings, to get at the individual command line arguments. Any
further processing of those arguments, you'll have to handle yourself.

As other have indicated there's nothing out of the box.
Chris Sells had quite a nice attributes based approach using attributes in
his (and others') Attila project.
I am sure I have also seen this approach in an MSDN magazine article
(although Google is failing me now search for "command line parser
attributes" or similar)

then reflection and attributes are your friends. see my post below.

Yeah, I know. It is just so common thing to do that I thought it is better
to ask whether there's one.

If you can't find it, I have one I could post.

In addition to using a string[] in main as the others suggested, you
can also use System.Environment.CommandLine to get a string with the
command line arguments in it.
