Passing a parameter to a variable in code C#

I am trying to use this program, but I would like to be able to pass a parameter where:

DeleteOnReboot(@"C:\test.txt");

"C:\Text" is

So I could call consoleapp.exe /C:\test2.exe

So I would have a variable in code e.g.

DeleteOnReboot(@"%VARIABLE%");

Full Code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {

[DllImport("kernel32.dll", CharSet = CharSet.Unicode)]
public static extern bool MoveFileEx(string
lpExistingFileName, string lpNewFileName, int dwFlags);

public const int MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT = 0x4;

public static void DeleteOnReboot(string filename)
{
if (!MoveFileEx(filename, null,
MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT))
    Console.WriteLine("Failed");
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{
DeleteOnReboot(@"C:\test.txt");
Console.ReadKey();
}
    }
}

You need to pull the file path, name from string[] args.

DeleteOnReboot(args[0]);

Or something similar and call it like this: consoleapp.exe C:\test2.exe

just use the args array that is in the entry point of your program (Main)

Example:

DeleteOnReboot(args[0]);

Have you checked the contents of your args variable in main? this is where the parameters are passed to and how you can access them in your console app.
