command line arguments not recognized

[gopal]

static void Main(string[] args)
{
....
....
}
I have an EXE now. I am now giving one of the arguments

as

EXE C:\Documents and Settings\121308\Desktop\First.xml.

The problem is i am not able to parse the XML file. I am getting the
message at command line as

'C:\Documents' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

How can read a file from a folder which has spaces in the folder name
itself like the one
mentioned above as Documents and settings.

Should user give the arguments with in Quotes/ or is there any other
smart way
Thanks

Most applications expect the arguments in quotes, though you could
concatenate them back into a single string (including spaces).

static void Main(string[] args)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (int i = 0; i < args.Length; i++)
{
sb.Append(args[i]);
if (i < args.Length - 1)
{
sb.Append(" ");
}
}
Console.Out.WriteLine(sb.ToString());
}
