Question: I'm developing a C++ command-line application in Visual Studio and need to debug it with command-line arguments. At the moment I just run the generated .exe file with the arguments I need (like this program.exe -file.txt) , but this way I can't debug. Is there somewhere I can specify the arguments for debugging? Thanks a lot.
Answer: Yes, it's on the Debugging section of the properties page of the project. In VS 2008, right click the project, choose properties, go to the Debugging section -- there is a box for command line arguments.
