Troubleshooting “program does not contain a static 'Main' method” when it clearly does…?

Question

My MS Visual C# program was compiling and running just fine. I close MS Visual C# to go off and do other things in life.

I reopen it and (before doing anything else)

Answer 1

It is important that the Main method is placed in the class that is properly configured in Visual Studio as a start-up object:

• Right-click your project in project explorer; choose "Properties..."
• In the properties dialog, choose "Application" tab
• In the application tab, choose SimpleAIMLEditor.Program from the drop-down for your start-up object

Now run your application again. The error will disappear.
