New B - when and why to use: string[] args in Main method

[Gzk2010]

I am new and was assuming it is cuase I am at some points sending a string into main. Thing is when I get code snippets from the net they seem to have
static void Main(string[] args) and I remove the string[] args and just make it Main(){...} and their code example works fine. SO when exactly is the

Main(string[] args)

needed?


Example of a peice of code I am working with that works fine just as Main(){...}

static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            Thread Thread1 = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Headlights));
            Thread1.Start();
            Thread1.Join(); .......

string[] args" would be used when you are passing parameters to the program from the command line. If we were to want to pass what file to copy and what to call it:

copyfile inputfile outputfile

It would be up to you to code how to handle the parameters themselves however.
