Please correct me if I'm wrong but are you referring to how you can read arguments in you c# program? In a console program... class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { //args.Length } } you read the arguments by traversing the args array in Program.cs. where args.Length is the number of arguments passed in you exe. In a windows app static class Program { /// /// The main entry point for the application. /// [STAThread] //static void Main() static void Main(string[] args) { Application.EnableVisualStyles(); Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false); Application.Run(new Form1()); } } you just change the parameterless Main method into a parametered one specifying a string array. Then read it just the same as you read it in the console program.
