Question

I would like to know if there is a way to create GUI program, with main() function (just like in console app), so I’m creating all the objects in main() and I can access/change it from the other functions connected with buttons/textboxes etc. Is it even possible? ;p

Please understand that I’m very beginner with GUI’s, things I’m talking about may be funny but still, i want to learn!
Thanks 🙂

When you create windows form project ( A Gui one), it has a main loop–In fact it requires one. By default, it’s in program.cs and it kicks off your form:

static class Program
{
    /// <summary>
    /// The main entry point for the application.
    /// </summary>
    [STAThread]
    static void Main()
    {
        Application.EnableVisualStyles();
        Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
        Application.Run(new Form1());
    }
}

What you probably want though is the Form constructor. This is in the code behind of the Form (by default Form1.cs) and will look like this:

public partial class Form1 : Form
{
    public Form1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();     
    }          
}
