SharpDevelop Community

I'm fairly new in VB.NET coding, so I'm afraid I've missed something fundamental.  The following is my issue:

I tried to use SharpDevelop v2.1.0 to create a VB.NET Windows service, since I have .NET 2.0 as well as 1.1/1.0 on my machine.  To begin with, I selected a "New Solution" as VBNet Windows Service.  Then, I tried to build it without any modification at all, expecting the service to do nothing.  The build failed with three errors as below:

Line 1: 'Sub Main' was not found in 'me'. (BC30420)

Line 12: Keyword is not valid as an identifier. (BC30183) - C:\Documents and Settings\leyang\My Documents\SharpDevelop Projects\me\me.vb:12

Line 25: 'MyServiceName' is not a member of 'me.ProjectInstaller'. (BC30456) - C:\Documents and Settings\leyang\My Documents\SharpDevelop Projects\me\ProjectInstaller.vb:25

What's the problem here?

(BTW, the third error was in ProjectInstaller.vb as shown in underline below

<code>

Public Class ProjectInstaller

Inherits Installer

Private serviceProcessInstaller As New ServiceProcessInstaller

Private serviceInstaller As New ServiceInstaller

Public Sub New()

' Here you can set properties on serviceProcessInstaller or register event handlers

serviceProcessInstaller.Account = ServiceAccount.LocalService

serviceInstaller.ServiceName = Me.MyServiceName

Me.Installers.AddRange(New Installer() { serviceProcessInstaller, serviceInstaller })

End Sub

The template works fine for me, it doesn't say Me.MyServiceName but ProjectName.MyServiceName

Did you name your project "Me"?

SharpDevelop will put the project name in some places in the code of new projects, and if you named the project "Me", VB will misinterpret it as the "Me" keyword. Please create a new project with a different name.

That hits the bull's eye!  Thanks very much.
