Command line arguments differ in Windows XP and Windows 7

Windows

Hello all,

I still use console programs that I develop under Microsoft Visual Studio 2008. I recently changed to Windows 7 and I found that when you use the following Main call:

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
}

And you issue the command

C:>myprog -l

For Windows XP args[0] will give the first parameter "-l", while in Windows 7 I see the program name myprog in args[0]. I have searched the questions here at the code project but I could find no reference to this. I cannot be the first one to stumble on this, so who knows more about it?

Regards,
Harm
