I have seen this when there is a missing semi-colon somewhere - that is to
say that:

using System;

class Hello
{
   public static void Main ()
   {
     Console.WriteLine("Hello, World")
   }

}

Will emit that message, replacing the semicolon will fix it.

I can't recreate the 'no entry point' message in the same file but this
will occur when the signature of Main() is incorrect or if it it missing
altogether.
