INTERVIEW QUESTIONS MICROSOFT C# DETAILS

Question: What happens when a C# project has more than 1 Main methods

Answer: If the project is compiled using /main switch with the compiler then the project compiles successfully.

For example:
class A
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Main in class A");
}
}

class B
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Main in class B");
}
}

Now compile with the /main switch with the C# compiler like
csc MultipleMain.cs /main:A

This will compile without error and while executing it will show Main in class A

Attempting to compile an application consisting of multiple classes with defined Main methods and not specifying the /main switch will result in a compiler error.

If the project is compiled using /main switch with the compiler then the project compiles successfully.

For example:
class A
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Main in class A");
}
}

class B
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Main in class B");
}
}

Now compile with the /main switch with the C# compiler like
csc MultipleMain.cs /main:A

This will compile without error and while executing it will show Main in class A

Attempting to compile an application consisting of multiple classes with defined Main methods and not specifying the /main switch will result in a compiler error.
