    Naming rules for classes conatining program entry points

    I remember reading something in a Java manual about how the class that contained the main entry point of the program needed to have the same name as the file name. Is there such a rule or a similar one in C#? Can I put my main method inside a class regardless of that classes name or the filename?

    Simplest way to find out is to test. I just tested and the filename and classname can be different.

    You can have only one main method, but you can put it into any class you like.

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.
