C# – Parsing command line arguments

Aug 26th, 2012 by

Parsing command line arguments with C# is not that easy as with Linux as it doesn’t come with a getopt parsing library. To do that with Windows you need third party libs/classes like NConsoler. I googled for it, grabbed the latest copy, added it to the C# project and it was working out of the box. Here an example how you can use it with your C# app.

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.Clear();
            Consolery.Run(typeof(Program), args);
        }
 
 
 
        /*

         */
        [Action]
        public static void Hello([Required(Description = "Username")] string Username)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("I say hello to {0} ",Username);
        }
 
 
        /*

         */
        [Action]
        public static void StartServer(
                [Required(Description = "Servername")] string Servername,
                [Required(Description = "TCPPort")] string TCPPort,
                [Optional(false, "d")] bool Debug)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Starting \"{0}\" server on port {1}, debugging {2} ...", 
                               Servername, TCPPort, Debug);
        }
    }
}
