The Primary Source File Dialog allows the programmer to define which source code module is regarded as the "main" program file. That is, when a compile/execute/debug operation begins, the IDE automatically uses the Primary Source File as the "main" file, regardless of which other files are loaded or have focus in the IDE.
The Primary Source File will be one of the files loaded into the IDE, and this can be via the Recent Files list (if the Reload previous file set at start IDE option is enabled). The Primary Source File can also be specified with the /P: IDE command-line switch.
