Unable to make a project exe

The project (from Sybex) is a class library (dll) and I can't change the
settings to make a stand alone (exe)

Any suggestions why?

Thank you,
Samuel

DLL can not become EXE by simply change *.dd to *.exe. A EXE program needs
an entry point to get started. By default, the entry point is a static
Main() method.

Why do you want to change your DLL into EXE?. If you need a stand alone exe
app, which needs to use some functionality provided by the classes in the
DLL, simply create an EXE app and set reference to the DLL (that is how a
DLL is expected to be used).
