Could someone help me out on my code? Variable Scope

So followed the video for "Variable Scope" and have the code below. If anyone can help me resolve error CS0017 that I am getting, I would greatly appreciate it.

using System;

class variablescope { static void MyMethod() { int total = 0; total += 1; Console.WriteLine("Total in MyMethod:"); Console.WriteLine(total); }

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    int total = 0;
    total += 10;
    MyMethod();
    Console.WriteLine("Total in Main:");
    Console.WriteLine(total);
}

}

This code builds and runs just fine for me. So I looked up "CS0017" and it is apparently "Program has more than one entry point defined."

My guess is that you might be combining this with one ore more other modules when you build that also contain a "Main" method. Try building it by itself and it should work.

If that's not it, or if you still need help, please make a snapshot of your workspace and post the link to it here; and also show exactly what commands you use to build and run your test.
