You can only have 1 start up function........
You gotta delete one of them. Without code, its hard to tell.
Basically, there is one entry point to the application........
What I normally do, is a create a class called
Entry.cs
The code looks like this:
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace MyApplication.Presentation.Winform
{
/// <summary>
/// Main Entry Point.
/// </summary>
public class Entry
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
Application.Run (new MainForm()); // you put the name of your form here
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Unhandled exception: " + ex.Message);
}
}
}
}
This way, I at least get a MessageBox .. if I don't handle something in the
main application.
...
the vb.net version looks like this;
Imports System
Imports System.Windows.Forms
Namespace EntryPoint
_
'/ <summary>
'/ Summary description for Entry.
'/ This is the main entry point for the application
'/ </summary>
Public Class Entry : Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
Public Sub New()
Me.Visible = False
InitializeComponent()
End Sub 'New
Public Overloads Shared Sub Main()
StartApplication(System.Environment.GetCommandLine Args())
End Sub
Public Shared Sub StartApplication(ByVal args() As String)
Try
Application.Run(New frmMain) ''' put your form here
''This format allows a "catch all" exception block
''This code will only fire when the developer
''doesn't have try/finally/catch blocks
Catch ex As Exception
' Make sure we log the unhandled exceptions.
MessageBox.Show("A serious error has occured. MyApp cannot
continue." & vbCrLf & ex.Message)
'Shut down application
Application.Exit()
End Try
End Sub 'Main
Private Sub InitializeComponent()
'
'Entry
'
Me.AutoScaleBaseSize = New System.Drawing.Size(5, 13)
Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing.Size(248, 69)
Me.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(-1000, -1000)
Me.Name = "Entry"
Me.ShowInTaskbar = False
Me.StartPosition =
System.Windows.Forms.FormStartPosition.CenterScree n
Me.Text = "Non Visable Startup Window"
End Sub 'InitializeComponent
End Class
End Namespace

OK,
I found the Primary Interop Assembly installation instructions, did that
for Excel, Word & Forms 2.0 and now I can add:
using Microsoft.Office.Core;
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
and intellisense shows valid members...
but my Application.Run() in my Main is still flagged as ambiguous when I
build.
How do I work around this?
Thanks again, Mike

news:eP**************@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... I'm trying to get a simple c# app built that can launch/manipulate an
excel workbook, sheet. I've chased down several examples and can't any
of them to work. So I must be doing somethnig obviouslt wrong.
Most examples to get things started include something:
using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
or
using Excel;
or
using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
...along with the standard namespaces supplied by visual studio IDE,
like System & System.Drawing, etc.
The examples also say to add a refererence (COM) to my project for
microsoft Excel object lib 9, 10, 11, etc via the Project Add Reference
menu pick.
I start with a blank C# windows application project and add my (COM)
excel 11 object lib reference(office 2003 installed on my desktop).
Here's what I observe during build for the 3 "using" scenarios:
1) when I build using the (using Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;) I get
"The type or namespace name 'Interop' does not exist in the class or
namespace 'Microsoft.Office' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
2) when I build using the (using Excel;) I get "Application' is an
ambiguous reference". This refers to the
Applicaiton.Run in my main argument. I can only assume Application in
conflicting with Excel.Application but can't figure out how to
straighten this out.
3) when I build using the (using Excel =
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;) I get a Namespace '' already contains a definition for 'Excel' and can't
continue.
Here's another thing. (with Excel 11 referenced in app)
If I use intellisense to show me the members of Microsoft, there's no
.Office.Interop, only Office.Core. So if I should be using anything in
the "using" section it looks like it should be "using
Microsoft.Office.Core;"
What using statement should I be incorporating or what else do I need to
do?
I feel that once my "includes" are correct I can do the rest of the
excel stuff.(famous last words)
Thanks for absolutely any response in advance?
Mike
