Is there any library/framework/application block to standardize repetitive tasks while building a C# console app?

Question

A production quality console app has to handle validating and parsing command line parameters + displaying errors to the user. This is a repetitive task and I am wondering if there is a library/framework/application block to standardize these tasks. Depending upon the app, I find that sometimes more than 50% of the code is just parsing parameters, doing validation, handling errors etc.

Answer 1

There are many libraries, such as the Command Line Parser Library, which handle parsing command lines cleanly in an automated fashion.
