error namespace cannot directly contain fields or methods

Question

Please help me on this error....I get when trying to run the code above in the link

@Erin I would read up on how to code C# basics you cannot create an entry point in your code this way.. is this a Console App..? you're Main should look like this `static void Main(string[] args)` also should be inside a Class not directly under `namespace{ }` here some tutorials you can read http://www.completecsharptutorial.com/basic/main-method/ — MethodMan, Nov 28 '17 at 05:55
Surround everything by either `static class Program { ... }` or `public class Program { ... }` depending on your needs. — Keyur PATEL, Nov 28 '17 at 05:57

Main Function Needs to be moved in a class before execution as it can not be directly used in a namespace as suggested by @mjwills and Sebastian . — OshoParth, Nov 28 '17 at 06:07

A namespace is a collection of classes.

And since static void is a method, it throws an error. So you need to move it like this:

namespace EmployeeProgram
{
  public class employee
   {
      [STAThread]
      static void Main()
      {}
   }
}
