Hi,
You can pass arguments in debug mode in the program arguments edit box as ntfreak indicated, also put a getline() or getchar() at the end of main so that program will not exit with out a prompt
I think he means that he wants to use debugger inside VC and for that purpose he needs to run his exe within the console. However as he is providing some arguments while executing his binary, this brings up conflicts running the program internally.
I suggest you to take your command prompt inputs from file while debugging with VC console. Once the program is debugged, you can switch back to your original scheme.
