Best way to parse command line arguments in C#? [closed]

Answer 1

My personal favorite is http://www.codeproject.com/KB/recipes/plossum_commandline.aspx by Peter Palotas:

[CommandLineManager(ApplicationName="Hello World",
    Copyright="Copyright (c) Peter Palotas")]
class Options
{
   [CommandLineOption(Description="Displays this help text")]
   public bool Help = false;

   [CommandLineOption(Description = "Specifies the input file", MinOccurs=1)]
   public string Name
   {
      get { return mName; }
      set
      {
         if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(value))
            throw new InvalidOptionValueException(
                "The name must not be empty", false);
         mName = value;
      }
   }

   private string mName;
}

Please use the .net port of the apache commons cli API. This works great.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/dotnetcli/

and the original API for concepts and introduction
