Solution 2

You can use my easy-to-use command line parsing library: Enumeration-based Command Line Utility[^].

It is complete with full source code and detailed explanation. Two previous articles explaining the techniques are referenced, as well as one alternative (more complex) command line utility.

Solution 1

Easiest way is give it a parameter, or argument.
If you check in your Main Method (console type apps), or use Environment.GetCommandLineArgs() for winforms, you can read the parameters passed to the application.

Set up the System Startup version to have an parameter such as "/Automatic" or similar, and you can detect the startup mode pretty easily.

Look at the MSDN description of Environment.GetCommandLineArgs:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.environment.getcommandlineargs.aspx
It gives an example.
