I have tried to run it from within two different prompts: To set command-line arguments in Visual Studio, right click on the project name, then go to Properties.
Add a comment | 9 The command line is what really lets you see the details of what’s happening, as well as giving you the ability to try out all the commands and options, not all of which are available from within visual studio. What I wanted in Studio Steps: Open Visual Studio Go To 'Menubar -> Tools -> External Tools' Click 'Add' Enter Information: Title: Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt Command: cmd. Turns out, if you make any mistake in the command line prompt, Visual Studio will open. For VS2013 it is: “Developer Command Prompt for VS2013”. You can easily configure which to use by setting the paths and arguments in the Options.
