Hi, I have a small Winform that shows a DatagridView with some data

Also I have a button that check if the String Format of each cell in one row is the same or not.

Now I need the ability to execute only that specific StringFormat_check Methode from a command line. I don't need to show the DatagridView, only to do the check and having a return like true or false or something like that.

I need to integrate that process in a specific Batch file.

to be honest I have no idea from where to start and what to do
any help would appreciated.

What I have tried:

What you can do is edit the Main method of your WinForms application and if you receive a certain command-line argument, say /checkOnly, then only call the StringFormat_check method:

C#

[STAThread]
static void Main(string[] args)
{
    if (args.Length > 0 && args[0] == "/checkOnly")
    {
        // do your stuff with StringFormat_check
    }
    else
    {
        // leave the default auto-generated code here, that probably looks like:
        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
        Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
}

And from your batch file, call your application like this:

YourWinFormsApp.exe /checkOnly <maybe other arguments here if needed>
