Replacing the WPF entry point

Question

WPF defines its own Main() method. How should I go about replacing it with my own Main method that (normally) opens the WPF MainWindow

Answer 1

Create new class with your custom static Main method. At the end of this method just call original App.Main() generated by WPF:

public class Program
{
    [STAThread]
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Your initialization code
        App.Main();
    }
}

Then set your project’s “Startup object” setting to the class containing your static Main().
