Category: Core Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Invalid Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jonathan Allen (greywolfghost) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Command line switches use the wrong format Initial Comment: The command line switches all start with a - instead of a /. This is a problem for two reasons. First, most DOS and Windows users except command line arguments to start with a /. There is no reason to use a non-standard UI in this case and it is very annoying. More importantly, there is a reason why swtiches start with a /. Filenames can start with a -. This is currently a problem with nAnt, but may be in the future if new command line arguments are added.

So does csc and the other .net commandline tools. Give it a try. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=402868&aid=1368753&group_id=31650 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
