How to read CLI arguments in visual studio 2022?

In a .NET Core or .NET 6 application, you can read command-line arguments easily. Here's a simple guide on how to do this:
Create a Console Application: If you don't have a console application yet, create one using Visual Studio 2022.
Access Command-Line Arguments: In the Main method of your
Program class, you can access command-line arguments through the
args parameter.
using System;
class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // args is an array containing command-line arguments.
        if (args.Length > 0)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Command-line arguments:");
            foreach (var arg in args)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(arg);
            }
        }
        else
        {
            Console.WriteLine("No command-line arguments provided.");
        }
    }
}
Run the Application with Arguments: When running your console application, you can provide command-line arguments from Visual Studio. Right-click on your project in Solution Explorer, go to "Properties," and in the "Debug" tab, you can enter command-line arguments in the "Command line arguments" field.
Alternatively, if you are running the application from the command line or terminal, you can pass arguments directly after the executable:
dotnet YourAppName.dll arg1 arg2 arg3
Replace YourAppName with the actual name of your application.
Here's a simplified representation in code-like form:
// Access command-line arguments in the Main method.
// Iterate through the args array to process each argument.
// Run the application with command-line arguments from Visual Studio or the command line
