How to Parse Command Line Arguments in C#

Question

I am trying to make a C# application that takes command line arguments (username and password) and declares them both as variables, so I would give arguments Bob and 12345, and it would save Bob as variable: Username, and 12345 as variable: Password. How would I do this?

Total incorrect flag as duplicate @Kevin, the question is way simpler — Christian Stewart, Mar 01 '13 at 01:49
No, that's about options that don't change each run. Still not the same. — Christian Stewart, Mar 01 '13 at 01:52

You can do this using Command Line Arguments.

Example:

public static void Main(string[] args)
   {
       //The arguments are 0 and 1, for the first and second args.
       var username = args[0];
       var password = args[1];
   }

@ZacHeimgartner, most modern (and some old) languages can do this btw. – Tyler Crompton Mar 01 '13 at 01:52
