[.net] does not contain a static 'Main' method

Error:
error CS5001: Program 'c:\MyProject\MyProject\Program.exe' does not contain a static 'Main' method suitable for an entry point
Can somebody clarify this error for me please? And also how to go about remedying the problem.
Thanks,

All programs need an entry point, in this case a Main() function (that is static).
You didn't specify the language you're using (I'm guessing c#...?), but look up any beginner tutorial for your language and it should cover Main().

I understand that I need a Main, but what if I'm just writing a library, a DLL, then how do I specify that I don't need, or want, a public void static Main() method?
If I just set the output type to 'library' should that take care of this problem or do I have to specify via some attribute?

Setting the output type to class library (or is it just 'library'?) should do the trick, yes.
If your using some Visual Studio variant when creating a project just select Library or DLL or whatever the option is called, that should fix your problem :).
