Thread: void main????

Hi,

I just downloaded the SharpDevelop (from Ken's link in the sticky post with all the links)
I created my first hello applicatoin. Well, the wizard did, I didn't do anything. And I noticed that it says void Main.
Is this normal with C#?
My guess is not because the OS still will expect an integer as return value.
So is the wizard wrong or am I ?

Code:

using System;

class MainClass
{
	public static void Main(string[] args)
	{
		string test;
		Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
		test=Console.ReadLine();
		Console.WriteLine(test);
	}
}

Also, what book do you recomend? nvoigt posted some great links (thanks nv ), but what about books? I'm not that good with learning from tutorials, I need a books to learn something


thanks

Yes, your IDE is right about that... public static void /*puke*/ main

What books will be helpful highly depends on what you want to do. Petzold has a book out that's called "Programming Microsoft Windows with C#". Pretty nice if you want to do GUI stuff, but not the type of bible the C/C++ book used to be. "Inside C#" from Microsoft press is good if you already know C++ or Java and just need to know how to transfer your knowledge to another syntax and it's quirks. "C# Essentials" from O'Reilly is a cheap but ok book to look things up if you already have a keyword to look for.
