Language? Application type?

Difficult to tell why you get the Link error; you probably forgot to add a public main() function in your code. However, since you have not told us what language you are using that is just a guess. The last part of your question makes no sense; what do you mean by "grant"?

What kind of project did you choose on Visual Studio 2008? You should select 'Console Application'.

1 solution

It means that the assembly or executable module being built on your project is supposed to be an application, which always requires the definition of the entry point, a function to be called when the application is loaded. By some reason, it is missing.

Please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_function[^].

You need to tag appropriate classifiers of your project when asking questions, such as platform, language, application type and other relevant detail.
