---- Reported by gert.driesen@pandora.be 2005-05-15 03:34:38 MST ----

The class that is specified using the /main option of mbas should always 
be considered to be fully qualified.

Right now, mbas combines the rootnamespace and the specified class to 
obtain the fully qualified class name.

This does not match the behaviour of vbc. From the .NET SDK:

"A full qualification to the Sub Main procedure to be called when the 
program starts."

The attached patch files this issue.

To reproduce, compile the following code snippet:

Public Class MyForm
  Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
End Class

using:

mbas /target:winexe /main:MBasTest.MyForm /rootnamespace:MBasTest /r:Syste
m.dll /r:System.Windows.Forms.dll MyForm.vb

Actual result:

error BC30737: Program xxx/MyForm.exe does not have an entry point defined

Expected result:

Compilation succeeds

Fixed with some refactoring and one more constraint checked and
reporting error (when the given name for the main class doesn't exist).

This one fails with vbnc.

Fixed in r76098.

When target is winexe, and a main class is not specified on the 
command line and no main method can be found, then an unexpected 
error is reported.

To reproduce, compile the following code snippet (using 
vbnc /target:winexe Form1.vb):

Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form

End Class

Expected result:

error BC30420: 'Sub Main' was not found in 'Form1'.

Actual result:

Property group resolution failed (unrecoverably), showing log
Unexpected error: An error message should have been shown: 'Failed to 
resolve property group'

This is fixed now (it wasn't a problem with Sub Main, but with the 
recently implemented My namespace).
