VS_DOTNET_STARTUP_OBJECT

.. versionadded:: 3.24

Sets the startup object property in Visual Studio .NET targets. The property value defines a full qualified class name (including package name), for example: MyCompany.Package.MyStarterClass.

If the property is unset, Visual Studio uses the first matching static void Main(string[]) function signature by default. When more than one Main() method is available in the current project, the property becomes mandatory for building the project.

This property only works for :ref:Visual Studio Generators; it is ignored on other generators.

.. code-block:: cmake

set_property(TARGET ${TARGET_NAME} PROPERTY VS_DOTNET_STARTUP_OBJECT "MyCompany.Package.MyStarterClass")
