WPF: .exe does not contain a static Main method suitable for an entry point

This morning while refactoring my WPF application, I ran into the following error: " .exe does not contain a static Main method suitable for an entry point"

If you are getting the same error the solution is simple, you need to make sure that the "Build Action" from App.xaml file for your application is set to "ApplicationDefinition"

Since Unloaded event is not called reliably for the UserControl when the hosting MFC Window closes, there is a need for another solution. XAML: < UserControl  x : Class = "Views.MyUserControl"               xmlns = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"               xmlns : x = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"               xmlns : mc = "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"                 xmlns : d = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"                 mc : Ignorable = "d"                 d : DesignHeight = "300"  d : DesignWidth = "300" >      < Grid >                   </ Grid > </ UserControl > Code Behind: using  System; using  ViewModels; name
