how to read a console application c#

Hi, can someone please help me, how could  I convert a string input in a console like:

-u username -p password 

to get username and password as parameters for my procedure. Can i read the input and make an '' if i fine -u put the rest of the string in the parameter username''? is this making any sens? Can someone please help, i assume that it's a very simple thing to do but I'm a begginer and I'm tring to learn please help me!

There are much better forums for programming help. That said, the command line arguments can be found in the args parameter passed to your Main function. You can parse that yourself, or you can search Google for a command line parsing library.

@wkempf: Bing!

Not to beat my own drum, but I made a library for parsing command line arguments: http://ookiicommandline.codeplex.com/

To use it for your example, you'd create a class as follows:

class MyArguments
{
    [CommandLineArgument("u")]
    public string UserName { get; set; }
    
    [CommandLineArgument("p")]
    public string Password { get; set; }
}

Then put the following code in your Main function:

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
    CommandLineParser parser = new CommandLineParser(typeof(MyArguments));
    try
    {
        MyArguments arguments = (MyArguments)parser.Parse(args);
        // Do stuff here
    }
    catch( CommandLineException ex )
    {
        Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
        parser.WriteUsageToConsole();
    }
}
