A project with an Output type of Class Library cannot be started directly

Question

I\'ve download sample code with C#. but when I run I get this error message:

A project with an Output type of Class Library cannot be started direct

Answer 1

The currently selected startup project is a Class Library.

You need an entry point for your application. Does your solution contain multiple projects?

Are you sure you want to 'run' the Class Library?

Possibly you've downloaded a Class Library solution only. In that case there might be unit tests that you can 'debug' to step-trough the code.

Update In response to your comment, these are possibilities to run the class library:

• Create a console application and reference the class library. Then 'use' its contents
• Debug an unit-test project
• start existing client project
