Here’s how you access the command line arguments:

string[] argv = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs();

It took me forever to think of this easy method of firing an event from with a thread to the main thread.  In searching the web I found several complicated methods that either didn’t work or won’t worth the hassel.  But it turns out to be incredible simple and easy to do.  The only caveat is that the  event subscriber must be a System.Windows.Forms.Control or derived from one

Basically you just get the control target of the delegate and use it’s BeginInvoke or Invoke method and .Net does the rest.

        private void DoCommandFinished(Command cmd)
        {
            if ( null != CommandFinished )
            {
                System.Windows.Forms.Control c = CommandFinished.Target as System.Windows.Forms.Control;
                if (null != c)
                {
                    c.BeginInvoke(CommandFinished, cmd);
                }
            }
        }

I checked this method in my main window thread with the InvokeRequired function. It worked well.
