Hello,

I'm trying to learn C++ and am using Visual Studio.Net to reverse engineer/modify some open source code. The program is designed to run with 2 command line parameters. How do I specify test values for those parameters while in debug mode?

I was able to hardcode a value into the code itself for one of the parameters but I don't know enough about C yet to do it for the other.

Thanks
 
Go into Project->Settings and select the "Debug" tab

There is an area for program arguments

look in solution explorer, right click on your project and select
properties->ConfigurationProperties
->debugging and put arguments in Command Arguments box on the right of the dialog box.

Thanks, Matt. I'll take another look for this when I get home tonight. I thought I'd already looked where you suggest in your comment, but I may well have missed something.
 
I'll look as you suggest too, Ion. Really appreciate the help, all.
 
Thanks, all. Took me a little while to sort out all the places that had COMMAND arguments or parameteers (most seemed to be directives to the compiler or linkers), but I finally got there. Appreciate your help!
