Visual Studio .NET

My question is about using VS.NET in creating C# apps.

I re-created an application in my book and after I finished coding, I selected "Build" (I am in Debug mode) and the app compiled and everything was fine. But the app didn't run. I thought it was supposed to run when "Build" is completed. What's happening?

Appreciate any light to be shed. Thanks!

Press F5 to build and run under debug your application.

I did. It just re-compiled and did nothing.

However, when I clicked the "Play" button in "Release mode", it ran. What's up?

Make sure you have selected the Windows Form, or Web Form to be the start up point of your project.
There was a known bug about the VS.NET losing the starting point, but it should have been fixed with the Release version.
What type of project are you compiling?

Hmm...I should check that out.

I'm compiling a C# windows form app, a file copying utility.

It is the start up point setting. Thanks for your help!
