Where is the Main method in a forms application?

Question

I would like to know if there is a way to create GUI program, with main() function (just like in console app), so I\'m creating all the objects in main() and I can access/ch

Answer 1

Main method is in Program class which is located in Program.cs file

    static class Program
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// The main entry point for the application.
        /// </summary>
        [STAThread]
        public static void Main()
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Application.Run(new Form1());
        }
    }

For what u want i would use constructor of Form1 class:

        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            //your code
        }

or ideally Form load event:

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //your code
        }

When you create windows form project ( A Gui one), it has a main loop--In fact it requires one. By default, it's in program.cs and it kicks off your form:

static class Program
{
    /// <summary>
    /// The main entry point for the application.
    /// </summary>
    [STAThread]
    static void Main()
    {
        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
        Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
}

What you probably want though is the Form constructor. This is in the code behind of the Form (by default Form1.cs) and will look like this:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();     
    }          
}

A WinForm application starts from main

static void Main()
{
    Application.Run(new Form1());
}

Whatever you want to do in main you can do it here
