Passing Arguments To Main()

[Guest_imported]

Hi.Here is my question:
This program takes one command-line argument that specifies a person's name.It than searches through a two-dimensional array of strings for that name.If it finds a match,it displays that person's telephone number.This program is taken from a book.

public static int Main(string[] args)
{
string[,] numbers=
{
{"Tom","111"},
{"Mary","222"},
{"John","333"},
{"",""}
};
int i;

if(args.Length !=1)
{
Console.WriteLine("Not correct"
return 1;
}
else
{
for(i=0;numbers[i,0]!="";i++)
{
if(numbers[i,0]==args[0])
{
Console.WriteLine(numbers[i,1]);
break;
}
}
}
return 0;
}

If I write on a command-line as an argument one of the names that are also present in a string array or if I don't pass any arguments at all,than the program works fine.
But if I pass as an argument anything else,lets say 'Will' than I get 'INDEX-OUT-OF-RANGE-EXCEPTION'.Why is that?The loop should continue only untill numbers[i,0]!="" and than it should STOP.

Thank you for all your help!

I insist!

Works fine for me... Are you using C# or C++?

I'm using C#.Do you have any idea what could be the reason?

Mine's a little different than yours, but not in anything that should functionally change it I don't think.

Take a look:

using System;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for Class1.
/// </summary>
class Class1
{
/// <summary>
/// The main entry point for the application.
/// </summary>
[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//
// TODO: Add code to start application here
//
string[,] numbers=
{
{&quot;Tom&quot;,&quot;111&quot;},
{&quot;Mary&quot;,&quot;222&quot;},
{&quot;John&quot;,&quot;333&quot;},
{&quot;&quot;,&quot;&quot;}
};
int i;

if(args.Length !=1)
{
Console.WriteLine(&quot;Not correct&quot;
return;
}
else
{
for(i=0;numbers[i,0]!=&quot;&quot;;i++)
{
if(numbers[i,0]==args[0])
{
Console.WriteLine(numbers[i,1]);
return;
}
}
}
Console.WriteLine(&quot;Not correct&quot;
}
}
} TealWren

Both versions work now.But I don't know why it didn't worked before,since you can see the code is OK.
Every once in a while when I open VS the settings are completely changed.Menus aren't in the place they were etc.
Could this be the reason?

Thank you for helping me!
