Why does my program work if my Main method in C# is private?


By default the type modifier for every member in a class is a private, even the Main() function type modifier is private. How does the CLR call the main method which is not visible to the outside world?


Solution

  • Thats not true.

    It has to be public. For e.g. public static void Main().

    EDIT: Here is what I found & learned today, on why Main need not be public. http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/csharpgeneral/thread/9184c55b-4629-4fbf-ad77-2e96eadc4d62/
