Solution 3

You should really only have one main method. You can achieve essentially the same thign as what using the "mutlimain" approach gives you with compiler definitions, or even commandline parameters. There is no logical reason to have two main methods in an application. Beyond al that, it becomes a maintenance issue.

In short - it's bad practice, and just a plain bad idea. My advice - find another way.

John, I agree completely, but there is something essential to know about it: what is entry point is defined in the project property. -- please see my answer to another Question of this member about "multimain".
Thank you.

Yes, I went to the links, an d they don't answer the OP's question. Hiren Solanki's answer *did* answer the question. My answer is to not do it at all, and to find anothger way.
