namespace Banking_System
{
    static class Program

        /// </summary>
        [STAThread]
        static void Main()
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Application.Run(new //Form1());      
             
               }   //in this bracket only
      }
}

What I have tried:

I didn't get the exact problem. This is program.cs code from my Banking_System software.

Im presuming this is a WinForms project you've generated, yes ? does your program actually have a 'Form1.cs' form or did you rename or delete it ?? if you've renamed Form1.cs (etc) that's the item required in the Application.Run(); statement

Solution 1

It wants you to finish

C#

Application.Run(new //Form1());

because

C#

//Form1());

is a comment.

Obviously, in that line

C#

Application.Run(new //Form1());

a comment is started but that statement is then incomplete.

You should remove the // and the code should compile provide that Form1 do exist.

If this is not the case, then you have to replace it with whatever is the name of your application main form. If you simply use Form, then you would get an empty main form.

Solution 3

it should be

C#

Application.Run(new Form1());

if you have renamed the Form Name, then you should update the line as

C#

Application.Run(new YourNewFormName());

note:This will be the starting form of your application.
