Programs can only have one Main method. You would either have to have two programs or have the main method call to other methods to start different new windows.

i was reading a book of c#, there is an example of this kind.
But as i tried it doesn`t work.

Have you posted the exact code from the book? Are you sure your compiler worked? What error did you get?

Error message:

Source file `a.cs/main:Abc` could not be found
fatal error CS2000: No Input specified

This isn't a problem with your program - your compiler can't find the file to compile - check your file is in the same directory as the console's current directory. Use the cd command to change the current directory of the console.

above code works well for only class Ad
problem arise for another class

Geeze... then if you are going to insist upon using the command line to compile c# then you will have to check the file name you are passing for every single file. Set the current directory of the command widnow to some root directory then pass in full file paths (wrap in quotes if they contain spaces) to your files. You ould find your life far easier if you got yourself a proper development environment...
