Program does not contain a static 'main' method suitable for entry point
.net, c#, entry-point, exception, wpf
Solution
I started getting this error on a WPF4/VS2010/MVVMLight app. All suggestions came up fruitless, until I came to the one about creating a new app and comparing the project and XAML files. This sounded like a desperate stab in the dark, but I went ahead and tried it.
After looking at several other files (thank heaven for BeyondCompare!), I discovered that my App.xaml had acquired an extra resource dictionary:
<Application.Resources>
<!--Global View Model Locator-->
<vm:ViewModelLocator x:Key="Locator" d:IsDataSource="True" />
<ResourceDictionary>
<vm:ViewModelLocator x:Key="Locator" d:IsDataSource="True" />
<ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries></ResourceDictionary.MergedDictionaries>
</ResourceDictionary>
</Application.Resources>
Removing the ResourceDictionary block fixed the problem. I still have no idea how this occurred (I wasn't editing app.xaml when this started), and it's not clear why VS reported this as the "static 'Main' method" error. Very strange.
Problem
I know that this question has been asked a lot, but none of the solutions seem to work for me. That or I am just incompetent and need to have my hand held through this problem (most likely solution). I looked through all of the classes, and all the build actions are set to compile, so I have no idea what could have gone wrong. Any help? Additional Details: I have been coding the starting of a game, and everything was going good until I got this error: Program does not contain a static 'Main' method suitable for an entry point All progress on this project has halted since this error appeared, and I could not find a way to fix it anywhere.
