= Providing Command Line Arguments in Visual Studio =

In the `Solution Explorer`, right-click on the application name and follow the tree:
{{{
Solution Explorer
|
+- Application Name
   |
   + Properties 
     |
	 + Configuration Properties
	   |
	   + Debugging
}}}

In the `Debugging` form on the right hand side of the dialog, there is an entry for `Command Arguments`.  It is here that you provide the options or filenames:
{{{
--input A.lis --output B.out
}}}
(or whatever your application requires).

Place any required supporting files (in the example above, it looks like
`A.lis`) in the same folder as your `.vcproj` file for the project.

Running your application now in either "Release" or "Debug" mode should invoke it with the correct arguments.  These are accessible via your `main` routine's `int argc` and `char* argv[]` parameters.
