Name	Type	Description
applicationName	String	A string value that represents the application’s name. This value is assigned to the XafApplication.ApplicationName property.
connectionString	String	A string value that represents the application’s connection string. This value is used to create an Object Space Provider and initialize the XafApplication.ObjectSpaceProvider property.

Remarks

The Setup() method overload is automatically called in the Main (Session_Start) method after creating the WinApplication or WebApplication object. Leave this method call to initialize the application’s settings by default values and the vaules set via the Application Designer. To set custom values for the XafApplication.ConnectionString property and add additional modules to the XafApplication.Modules list, call this method overload instead. If you do not need to override the default value of the XafApplication.ConnectionString property or add additional modules, pass “” or null (Nothing in VB).
