if you have a "=" in your parameter values, a safer option would be:

private static Dictionary ResolveArguments(string[] args)
{
    if (args == null)
        return null;

    if (args.Length > 1)
    {
        var arguments = new Dictionary();
        foreach (string argument in args)
        {
            int idx = argument.IndexOf('=');
            if (idx > 0)
                arguments[argument.Substring(0, idx)] = argument.Substring(idx+1);
        }
        return arguments;
    }

    return null;
}
