The Application page of the Project Designer allows you to specify the project's application settings and properties.
To access the project's Application page, right-click on a project node in Solution Explorer, then select Properties. When the Project Designer appears, click the Application tab.
The following options allows you to configure the application's general settings.
Specifies the name of the output file that will hold the assembly manifest.
Specifies the default, or base namespace for all files in the project. For example, if you set the root namespace to ProjectOrder and you have a ClassOrder outside of any namespace in your code, its namespace would be ProjectOrder.ClassOrder. If you have a ClassNewOrder within a namespace Order in code, its namespace would be ProjectOrder.Order.ClassOrder.
You can also manually specify the namespace structure of your project. See DCLNAMESPACE for more information on creating namespaces in your code.
Specifies the .NET Framework to Target. Click on the dropdown button to set the target framework to .Net Framework 2.0 (Visual Studio 2005), .Net Framework 3.0 (Included in Windows Vista and .NET Framework 3.5 (Visual Studio 2008).
Specifies the type of application to build. Click on the dropdown button to set the output type to Windows Application, Console Application, or Class Library.
Note that Web and Monarch-migrated display file applications can only be set to Class Library.
Specifies the entry point to be called when the application loads. This is generally set to either the main form in your application or to the BegSR Main procedure that should run when the application starts.
Note that Class libraries do not have an entry point. The Monarch display file root option will become available. See content below.
Sets the icon (.ico file) that you want to use as your application's icon. Select the Browse button [...] to browse for an existing graphic. A picture of the selected icon will display to the right of the Browse button.
Note that icons are only available for output types of Windows Application and Console Application.

This option is visible for Class Libraries only. Specify the root folder of the display file by clicking on the Browse button [...].
