Snow does its magic by replacing the entry point of your program with one of its own, that finds, registers and injects components before executing your code.

This means that the entry point (normally the Main method) is the only part of a program that will have Snow-related code. Everything else is handled transparently using attributes.

First, create a new .NET console project, either in Visual Studio or through the command line. Then, follow these steps:

Locate the entry point, and make the class extend the ISnowRunnable interface:

public class Program : ISnowRunnable
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello, World");
    }
}

Implement the Run method required by the interface, and move into it the contents of the Main method:

public class Program : ISnowRunnable
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        
    }
    
    public void Run(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello, World");
    }
}

Tell Snow to execute the program:

public class Program : ISnowRunnable
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        SnowRunner.Run(new Program(), args);
    }
    
    public void Run(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Hello, World");
    }
}

If you run the program at this point, the behavior should remain the same. Snow is now executing your program, even though it has nothing to do yet.

Web projects require a bit more of setup, for these purposes:

• Make controllers into components that can use dependencies.
• Change the lifetime of controllers so that a single instance is used instead of initializing them on each request.

This modifications are explained somewhere else not yet implemented.
