Your intentions are not clear. What do you want to do?
1. Start visual studio and start the project int debug mode??? (this is totally pointless)
2. Just start the ready-made program without visual studio if possible? (this is possible of course)
3. Start visual studio and compile it from command line?

Solution 1

Just open the console "Cmd.exe" and navigate to your output folder. There just start the exe. So, if your exe is called "Test.exe" and lies in C:\Temp, just execute

C#

C:\Temp\Test.exe

Hi,

You need to use Environment GetCommandLineArgs function to access your parameters. you need to check what is the entry point of your application. there you need to get and process your parameters.

You also need to specify appropriate exception or further message if parameter are missing.

Something like,

C++

using namespace System;
int main()
{
   Console::WriteLine();

   //  Invoke this sample with an arbitrary set of command line arguments.
   array<String^>^arguments = Environment::GetCommandLineArgs();
   Console::WriteLine( "GetCommandLineArgs: {0}", String::Join( ", ", arguments ) );
}

(Code from MSDN)

Hope this works for you,
Thanks
