If you’re using gcc, I found a thread that said you can use the -e command-line parameter to specify a different entry point; so you could use func as your entry point, which would leave main unused. Note that this doesn’t actually let you call another routine instead of main. Instead, it lets you call … Read more
Every C# program needs an entry point. By default, a new c# Windows Forms project includes a Program class in a Program.cs file: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Threading.Tasks; using System.Windows.Forms; namespace StackOverflow6 { static class Program { /// <summary> /// The main entry point for the application. /// </summary> [STAThread] static void … Read more

There is a class called Application, which will be the root class for an application to be launched. If there … Read more
Some examples depict changing App.xaml’s Build Action from ApplicationDefinition to Page and writing your own Main() that instantiates the App class and calls its Run() method, but this can produce some unwanted consequences in the resolution of application-wide resources in App.xaml. Instead, I suggest making your own Main() in its own class and setting the … Read more

In addition, … Read more
