newbie questions - in consle app I acan only have 1 main void 1

[Gzk2010]

1. when I get go tutorials from the web, lots are for console apps.
I have been an entry level c# web devcloper. so when I create a new class in my console project I jave to comment out all the code of all the other classes for my latest to run. Its a dumb question.


2. next dumb question i tried googling - what is the I in front of .net things. like IPrinciple?

1.

internal static class Program
{
   [STAThread]
   private static void Main()
   {
   }
}

is the entry point into a console application. just like Global.Application_Start is the entry point into asp.net.

One you enter the application you can instantiate new objects. for example

internal static class Program
{
   [STAThread]
   private static void Main()
   {
       new MyObject().DoSomething();
   }
}

a winforms application isn't that much different.

internal static class Program
{
   [STAThread]
   private static void Main()
   {
      Application.EnableVisualStyles();
      Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
      Application.Run(new MyContext());
   }
}

2.
I[xxx] is a naming convention. it signifies the object is an interface, not an implementation. this is purely a manual convention.
(You could use a tool like ncover to ensure all interfaces start with "I", but that still not a requirement.)
