c# - How do you specify command line arguments in a .csproj's StartProgram setting? -

i'm trying specify command line arguments executable in <startprogram> value of <propertygroup> looks this

<propertygroup> <startaction>program</startaction> <startprogram>$(solutiondir)\edge.express\node.exe</startprogram> </propertygroup>

i'm trying automate steps involved in attaching library running process team can straight debug library without additional ceremony (they're not familiar visual studio yet)

i copied node executable edge.express folder , express server configuration in server.js @ location. want this:

<propertygroup> <startaction>program</startaction> <startprogram>$(solutiondir)\edge.express\node.exe server</startprogram> </propertygroup>

but throws next exception

removing "server" arg fires instance of node.

how give "server" argument node.exe within <startprogram> setting?

alternatively there way set startaction run batch script , force server startup script?

a quick search did not homecoming documentation on available startactions are

as hans pointed out: if want specify arguments <startaction> program, have utilize <startarguments> element:

class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><startaction>program</startaction> <startprogram>$(solutiondir)\edge.express\node.exe</startprogram> <startarguments>server</startarguments>
