When I try to run this I get an error "Index was outside the bounds of the array." on the line "args[0] = Console.ReadLine();" CODE static void Main(string[] args) { while (args.Length < 1 \|\| args[0] == null) { Console.WriteLine(@"No file passed. Pass model file path and name. (EX: VCChecklist 'C:\Model.igv'). Please enter a correct path or type 'Exit' to cancel."); args[0] = Console.ReadLine(); if (File.Exists(args[0])) { CompileChecklist(args[0]); return; } else { Console.WriteLine("File '" + args[0] + "' could not be found."); args[0] = null; } } return; } I was able to get around this issue by setting CODE args = new string[1]; and then using CODE args[0] = Console.ReadLine(); This post has been edited by SpiderSpartan: 5 Aug, 2008 - 11:29 AM

try this in your main

csharp


string FileDirPath = string.Empty;
if (args.Length == 0)
{
   Console.WriteLine(@"No file passed. Pass model file path and name. (EX: VCChecklist 'C:\Model.igv'). Please enter a correct path or type 'Exit' to cancel.");
}
else
{
   for (int i = 0; i < args.Length; i++)
    {
      switch (args[i].ToLower())
      {
          case "-file":
               if (++i != args.Length)
                {
                    FileDirPath = args[i];
                 }
                break;
            default:
                  System.Console.WriteLine(
                     "Unknown parameter (" + args[i] + ") passed into the application.");
             break;
      }
    }
}
