C# entry point function

Question

Is staic void main() is necessary for entry point function in C# or we can use some other functions? Why main() is static?

Answer 1

The Main method might be what you consider as the entry point of an application but in c# as far as i know methods can't be defined directly in namespaces which means it has to be within a class. The real first executed thing then is the static constructor of the class containing the Main method

using System;
namespace test
{
    class Program
    {
        static Program()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("static constructor");
        }

        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Main method");
        }
    }
}

Outputs static constructor first and then Main method
