Windows Non-Form / Console .NET Application - Sub Main()
While working on my latest .NET project I ran into the problem of how to specify the program to use Sub main() as the startup procedure. I had originally created my project as a Windows Form application, so the sub main() settings were not set by defeault.
The first thing I did was to change the project preferences (Project > Properties > General) settings Startup Object to Sub Main. This was a given. Next I created a new class containing my Sub Main(). I could not get the program to start up in this manner.
After some googling I found that the Sub Main() needs to be placed inside a module in the following manner:
ModuleSub Main() [...]End SubEnd Module
After that everything worked like a charm.
