does not contain a static 'Main' method suitable for an entry point

Hi bkshn,
This error is caused by the missing "Main" method in your project. it is the entry point of your project.
If you want to create a EF project, you could follow the way in the aricle below.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/ee712907#codefirst
The Main method is like below.
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
using (var db = new BloggingContext())
// Create and save a new Blog
Console.Write("Enter a name for a new Blog: ");
var name = Console.ReadLine();
var blog = new Blog { Name = name };
db.Blogs.Add(blog);
db.SaveChanges();
// Display all Blogs from the database
var query = from b in db.Blogs
orderby b.Name
select b;
Console.WriteLine("All blogs in the database:");
foreach (var item in query)
Console.WriteLine(item.Name);
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...");
Console.ReadKey();
And you could start to learn the EF from the following MSDN blogs.

ITC - Build 1.x.x does not contain the correct beta entitlement.

Hi,
I have a major problem when uploading Builds via the Application Loader (2.9.1) to iTC.
- I use Flash CC 2014 to create my iOS Apps.
- I recreated my certificates, p12 and mobile provisioning profiles.
- I can Upload my Builds via Application Loader without any error messages. Everything is fine here!
- Then in iTC it takes several minutes (5-45) until the Apps Appear.
- I am able to "Add a Build" in the first "Versions" Menu!
BUT in "Prerelease" it looks like this:
... all Builds are marked as "Invalid Binary"
Message: "Build 1.2.2 does not contain the correct beta entitlement. For more information, see the iTunes Connect Developer Guide."
Even though all Builds are marked as "Invalid" they can be selected and I can submit them for review.
... the sad thing is - another App with the same Status "Invalid Binary" is waiting for review for almost 2 weeks now and nothing happens.
Can anyone please tell me what I have to do? It seems Apple does not review Apps with this Status . Normally I get an email from iTUnes connect saying something like:
"Dear developer,
We have discovered one or more issues with your recent delivery for "XYZ". To process your delivery, the following issues must be corrected:
... but this time - NOTHING! :-(
Please help!

Eclipse problem selection does not contain main type

i m using eclipse3.3 and have set all the necessary paths in it
but when i run a simple java program just for displaying hello world but
the error comes
selection does not contain main type

You must have a class with a main method.
The main method must be public, must be static, must return void, must have parameter String [], and is case sensitive (so does Java).
Put this into your class
public static void main(String args[]) {
}Let me know if it answers your question.
Best regards.

Eclipse "selection does not contain main type" - but it does contain a main

Hi!
I'm having a strange thing happen to me when using the eclipse IDE in a macintosh envirnment.
I imported a project, complete with package, and all of my classes. and when I try to run my main class, it tells me "selection does not contain main type".
Which is entirely untrue, the class I am trying to run contains a public static void main(), does anyone know what's going on here?

the class is quite large, I don't think that it is a problem with the class, because it runs fine on my windows based pc (also in eclipse)...

               System.out.println(display);
}Thanks

First, note that your program uses a non-standard class, "uwcse.io.Input" which is not available to us. Normally that is a show stopper - in this case, it's not, as I was able to eliminate its use.
Your program runs fine, so the error is an Eclipse error unrelated to Java.
You need to ask for help at an Eclipse support site, not here, as these forums are Java language forums.

[Eclipse Problem] Selection does not contain a main type?

well i am using a GUI builder software which generates java code, i made a simple one to test and it will not compile.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class name {
     @SuppressWarnings("unused")
     private void initComponents() {
          panel1 = new JPanel();
          label1 = new JLabel();
          textField1 = new JTextField();
          panel1.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
          label1.setText("Name:");
          label1.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.LEFT);
          panel1.add(label1);
          textField1.setColumns(12);
          textField1.setText("hi");
          panel1.add(textField1);
     private JPanel panel1;
     private JLabel label1;
     private JTextField textField1;
}it should make a basic swing GUI but it just gives me the error "Selection does not contain a main type"
I did not select in eclipse "use public static void main" i know im not supposed to because this has no main method, but how am i to compile this? =X

Setup.exe fails, folder " "does not contain a valid media info file 'mediainfo.xml'"

I'm trying to run the SQL Server R2 setup.exe, and all I get is a command window popping up briefly, then nothing.
This actually affects all SQL Installers that I have on my machine:
2008R2
2012
SSDT BI Pack for VS2012
If I run the setup.exe from the command line, I get this:
An error occurred during the SQL Server 2008 R2 Setup operation
Error result: -2067529698
Result facility code: 1220
Result error code: 30
For more information, review SQL Server R2 Setup Logs in your temp folder
The contents of that log file are:

</Properties>
</MediaInfo>
I've seen a few suggestions elsewhere in search results, but nothing has worked so far.
I've previously run the 2008R2 installer and the 2012 installer without problems, so I'm not sure what has changed, or how to get round it.
I'm running on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1, 64 bit with up-to-date Windows Updates.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

In addition to Alberto’s suggestion:
Validate the setup media is not corrupt.

Source2wsdd: ServiceGen does not contain a start method - help!

Hello all Weblogic Users!
I would greatly appreciate any help with this problem.
I am getting this error when I do my build on Linux.
[source2wsdd] source2wsdd: Doclet class weblogic.webservice.tools.ddgen.ServiceGen does not contain a start method.
Previously I was getting an error where the ServiceGen class could not be found. This was occuring both in Windows and Linux.
For Windows, this can be fixed in two ways. 1) Run setWLSEnv.cmd first (in weblogic81/server/bin. 2) (Unconfirmed but try it) Add the tools.jar, weblogic.jar, and webservices.jar to the ant runtimes lib in Eclipse (see preferences/ant/runtimes/global entries. - This will let you run the task inside Eclipse)
In Linux, I added the webloigc.jar and webservices.jar to the user's special ~/'.ant/lib directory (see ant documentation). This too fixed the problem of being unable to find the ServiceGen class. But now I am getting the error above. I am ripping my hair out trying to fix it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks to all....

C# compiling error: 'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Select' and no extension method 'Select' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Array' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Hello experts,
I'm totally new to C#. I'm trying to modify existing code to automatically rename a file if exists. I found a solution online as follows:
string[] allFiles = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath).Select(filename => Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filename)).ToArray();
string tempFileName = fileName;
int count = 1;
while (allFiles.Contains(tempFileName ))
tempFileName = String.Format("{0} ({1})", fileName, count++);
output = Path.Combine(folderPath, tempFileName );
string fullPath=output + ".xml";
However, it gives the following compilation errors
for the Select and Contain methods respectively.:
'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Select' and no extension method 'Select' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Array' could be found
(are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Contains' and no extension method 'Contains' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Array' could be
found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I googled on these errors, and people suggested to add using System.Linq;
I did, but the errors persist.
Any help and information is greatly appreciated.
P. S. Here are the using clauses I have:
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Linq;

Besides your issue with System.Core, you also have a problem with the logic of our code, particularly your variables. It is confusing what your variables represent. You have an infinite loop, so the last section of code is never reached. Take a look
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.IO;
namespace consAppFileManipulation
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
string fullPath = @"c:\temp\trace.log";
string folderPath = @"c:\temp\";
string fileName = "trace.log";
string output = "";
string fileNameOnly = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fullPath);
string extension = Path.GetExtension(fullPath);
string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(fullPath);
string newFullPath = fullPath;
string[] allFiles = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath).Select(filename => Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filename)).ToArray();
string tempFileName = fileName;
int count = 1;
//THIS IS AN INFINITE LOOP
while (allFiles.Contains(fileNameOnly))
tempFileName = String.Format("{0} ({1})", fileName, count++);
//THIS CODE IS NEVER REACHED
output = Path.Combine(folderPath, tempFileName);
fullPath = output + ".xml";
//string fullPath = output + ".xml";
UML, then code

Regular expression - find if string does NOT contain text....

I have a string that I want to tokenize. The string can contain basically anything. I want to produce tokens for each "word" found, and for each "<=" or "," found. There does not need to be whitespace around a "<=" or a "," to consider it a token. So for example:
joe schmoe<=jack, jane
should become
joe
schmoe
<=
jack
jane
As a constraint, I do not want to use StringTokenizer at all, as "its use is discouraged in new code". http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/StringTokenizer.html
Here's the code I plan on using for this:
    public String[] getWords(String input) {
        Matcher matcher = WORD_PATTERN.matcher(input);
        ArrayList<String> words = new ArrayList<String>();
        while (matcher.find()) {
            words.add(matcher.group());
        return (String[]) words.toArray(new String[0]);
    }The trick, though, is coming up with a working regular expression. The closest I've found yet is:
([^\s]|^(,)|^(<=))+|,|<=
but that produces the following:
joe
schmoe<=jack,
jane
I think what I need is to be able to find if a string does not contain the substring "<=" or "," using a regular expression. Anyone know how to do this, or another way to do this using regular expressions?

Try:
* Tokenizer.java
* version 1.0
* 01/06/2005
package samples;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
* @author notivago
public class StrangeTokenizer {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String text = "joe schmoe<=jack, jane";
        Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile( "((?:<=)|(?:,)|(?:\\w+))");
        Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(text);
        while( matcher.find() ) {
            System.out.println( "Item: " + matcher.group(1) );
}May the code be with you.

Projectname.exe' does not contain a static 'Main' method suitable for an entry point .
