Command Line Arguments

How can I read the command line arguments that a VB.NET 2003 program is launched with? For example, if I have a program call "SuperCalc.exe" and it is run as follows:

"SuperCalc.exe /r"

How can I detect from code that the command-line argument "/r" was used?

Thanks

Yes flavo you are right,

There's another way however which is this

Dim Str() As String = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
if Str(1) = "/r" then
  'Do Something
End If

Here you need not Split as we get an array anyway
