A CodeEntryPointMethod is a CodeMemberMethod that represents the entry point method of an executable.

This example demonstrates using a CodeEntryPointMethod to indicate the method to start program execution at.

' Builds a Hello World Program Graph using System.CodeDom objects
Public Shared Function BuildHelloWorldGraph() As CodeCompileUnit
   ' Create a new CodeCompileUnit to contain the program graph
   Dim CompileUnit As New CodeCompileUnit()
   
   ' Declare a new namespace object and name it
   Dim Samples As New CodeNamespace("Samples")
   ' Add the namespace object to the compile unit
   CompileUnit.Namespaces.Add(Samples)
   
   ' Add a new namespace import for the System namespace
   Samples.Imports.Add(New CodeNamespaceImport("System"))
   
   ' Declare a new type object and name it
   Dim Class1 As New CodeTypeDeclaration("Class1")
   ' Add the new type to the namespace object's type collection
