PMFJI, but they are passed in automatically when you build a project from the command line of from the Project Manager.

Scenario 1
You have the project open in the manager and you click the Build button. The options you select on the next screen are used for nBuildAction, lRebuildAll, lShowErrors and lBuildNewGuids. The next dialog asks you what you want to name the output (SaveAs dialog) and that is used for cOutputName.

Scenario 2
You build the project from the command prompt. The cOutputName property is the name of the file you specify in the command.

build DLL MyDll from myproject

HTH.
