Are you passing any command line argument to your application? 'Cause if you're not, then args would have the Length equal to zero, and thus args[0] would not exist...

You need to add some code before the switch:

if( args.Length == 0)
{
  Console.WriteLine( "At least one argument is required.");
  return;
}
