24 Aug 04 parsing command line parameters in c#

You would think of all the nice features they have in .Net that parsing comand line parameters to a console app would be as easy as calling a property. You would be wrong. C'mon, how hard would it have been to have Environment.GetCommandLineArgsByName(string argname) ?

I don't think in zero-based arrays so I didn't want to be tied to using Environment.GetCommandLineArgs. I looked for other ways to do it and ran across a post on the NUnitAddin blog about using an XmlSerializer to parse them.  Cool. Very cool. Very little code and it makes sense (even before you understand it completely).
