CPP -- error CS5001: Program does not contain a static 'Main' method suitable for an entry point

Hi,

Getting this error on a C++ application:

error CS5001: Program does not contain a static 'Main' method suitable for an entry point:

Tried adding this: (no luck...)

public static void Main()
{
}

That is a C# compiler error, not C++.
If you want to create a C++ console project, start from one of those with Visual Studio.

@Pieter Classens I'll keep an eye out here for your contributions. I really don't know how one qualifies for the award these days; things have changed a lot in the years I've been awarded.
