Hi Friends,
I am using visual studio to run following function

<br />
int main(int argc, char *argv[])<br />
{<br />
bla bla<br />
}<br />

I need to debug this code. the problem is I cant debug this code as i need to pass different parameters. More I cannot do out of argv as the program does not load the file if I give the path as a variable inside code.
Hope you are understanding
Thank you for help

In addition to a correct method venkatmakam advised, I can offer the accelerated debugging technique based on simulation of command line.

Rename main to, say, debugmain(int, char*). Write new main which takes command line parameters from console, UI control or file and pass them to debugmain. It will take some time to implement but can accelerate your debugging a bit.

Solution 1

You can pass the command line arguments from the IDE as follows,

Goto Project->Properties.
1. Expand configure properties section.
2. Goto Debug section.
3. Give the command line arguments in "Command Arguments" edit box.
