Compiler Settings
When you select the Compile tab of the project properties, you should see a window similar to the one shown
in Figure 1 - 7. One update to Visual Studio 2010 is the return of the Build Confi guration settings. In Visual
Studio 2008, the Visual Basic Settings for Visual Studio removed these items from the display; and instead,
when developers asked to debug their code, a debug version was built and executed, and only if the developer
did an explicit build. (Note that if you are using Beta 2, you won ’ t see these settings restored by default.)
ATTRI BUTE DES CRI PT ION
Assembly File Version This attribute is used to set the version number of the
executable fi les. This and other deployment - related settings are
covered in more detail in Chapter 34.
COM Visible This attribute is used to indicate whether this assembly should
be registered and made available to COM applications.
Guid If the assembly is to be exposed as a traditional COM object,
then the value of this attribute becomes the ID of the resulting
type library.
NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute If specifi ed, provides the default culture to use when the current
user ’ s culture settings aren ’ t explicitly matched in a localized
application. Localization is covered further in Chapter 27.
