Startup Object

The name of the class that contains the Start method that you want called when you launch your application.

The default for X# applications is the Start function inside the compiler generated Functions class.

You can override this setting by specifying another classname here.

-out

Output File

The name of the project's primary output file.

This is derived from the assembly name.

Suppress default Win32 manifest. You will have to supply your own Win32 manifest if you suppress the default one.

Vulcan Compatible Managed Resources

Use Vulcan Compatible Managed Resources. (When 'True', resource files are included in the assembly without namespace prefix. When 'False', the resource files are prefixed with the namespace of the app, just like in other .Net languages, such as C#.)
