Project properties controls how code is generated.
Project properties
Project properties can be set from the Project Tree window.
You can open the Project properties dialog box either from the Properties button in the tool bar, or from the context menu associated to the root node of the project.
The following table shows most commonly used project properties, and their meaning:
| Property | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Target kind | Indicates which kind of file will be generated by the compiler. |
| Entry type | When specified, tells the compiler which type declaration contains the initial Main method. |
| Debug information | Instructs the compiler to generate a pdb file with debug information. This file can be used along with Microsoft's CLR Debugger to debug the target assembly. |
| Check preconditions | When checked, the compiler generates runtime checks for preconditions. |
| Check postconditions | When checked, the compiler generates runtime checks for postconditions. |
| Symbols | Optional comma separated list with symbolic definitions. These identifiers can be used for declaring and expanding conditional methods. |
