Check Program.cs in your project
Application.Run(new MyForm());
Change MyForm to yourform.

Hi,

Change your deafult form in Program.cs file.
static void Main()
        {
            Application.EnableVisualStyles();
            Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
            Application.Run(new Form2());
        }
    }

Application.Run(Form) method: Begins running a standard application message loop on the current thread, and makes the specified form visible.
YourFormName() add your form name (whatever the page name you have given at the time creation of page) and Add this Main () method in all of your pages after that you will get all the pages list in Startup object list there we have chance to select particular page as start up page. After completion of adding this Main method follow the below steps
1. Right click on your project select properties
2. Select Application tab in that you will find Startup object combo box
3. This combo box contains list of forms which is having method Main ().
4. Select Form(whatever the Form you need to set as start up form)
In combobox if you select option (Not set) you will get error like Program has more than one entry point defined to remove error we need to select at least one form by default this combobox contains yourapplciation.Program form as Startup object.

static void Main()

{

Application.Run(new Form1());

}
in Application.Run(); give parameter as the name of the page we want to set as start page.

This can be done for Asp .Net forms and not for C# windows forms. My question is how can i set the default page for a specific C# forms from multiple C# form pages in a single solution.

Thanks.

1.Right click on the Project

2.Click on properties

3.Select the desired form in the dropdown of 'startUp object'.

Note:the form name is available in the dropdown of the StartUp Object,only if the 'form to be selected' has a main method in it.

Right click on your project, select the form you desired in the drop down field called "Startup Object".
