Answer 1

Here's how this can be done in the most simple way:

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var arguments = new Dictionary();

        foreach (string argument in args)
        {
            string[] splitted = argument.Split('=');

            if (splitted.Length == 2)
            {
                arguments[splitted[0]] = splitted[1];
            }
        }
    }

Note that:

• Argument names are case sensitive
• Providing the same argument name more than once does not produce an error
• No spaces are allowed
• One = sign must be used
