Create my own window

Until now I have been using the default "windows application" template to
create a new window. What I would like to do is play with dynamic window
creation. However, when I just create a class that contains sub Main() it
doesn't want to compile in the IDE. Is there some property I need to set?
The code below is what I want to use to create my window class. How can I
do it within the VisualStudio IDE?
Thanks,
Gary O.

Public Shared Sub Main()

Dim form1 As New Form

Dim form2 As New Form

form1.Text = "Form passed to Run()"

form2.Text = "Second form"

form2.Show()

Application.Run(form1)

MessageBox.Show("Application.Run() has returned " & _

"control back to Main. Bye, Bye!", "Two Forms")

End Sub

Why? Error message? Which project type did you choose (Windowsapplication,
consoleapplicatoin or classlibrary)?

The code looks fine. What did you choose as the startup object in the
project properties?

In the project properties dialog set 'AppMain' as startup object.
