The below code that illustrates how to receive arguments for a WinForms Application. The example expects two arguments and validates that they are converted properly. If the appropriate arguments are sent, these are stored in a public
class named GlobalVars
.
[STAThread]
static void Main( string[] MyArgs)
{
Application.EnableVisualStyles();
Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
if (MyArgs.Length == 0 || MyArgs.Length < 2)
{
MessageBox.Show(
"Please specify Parm1 and Parm2 as Arguments in order to
Proceed.",
"YourAppTitle", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
Application.Exit();
return;
}
else
{
try
{
GlobalVars lGlobalVars = new GlobalVars();
lGlobalVars.gOrderSkey = Int64.Parse(MyArgs[0]);
lGlobalVars.gShipmentNo = Int64.Parse(MyArgs[1]);
}
catch (Exception Ex)
{
MessageBox.Show(
"Invalid Parm1 and/or Parm2 Arguments. Please verify. \rError: "
+ Ex.Message, "YourAppTitle",
MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
Application.Exit();
return;
}
Application.Run(new Form1());
}
}
Notice the "\n
" to break down the MessageBox
in two lines. It is a nice little trick that I often forget.
Hope this helps,
