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();
}
}
