This setting is not generally necessary as the Agent will automatically determine the application type correctly in most typical windows services, console apps, WinForm applications, and ASP.NET applications. If the automatic determination is unsuccessful or incorrect with a particular application, the correct type can be configured with this setting to bypass the automatic determination. However, setting this incorrectly for the application could have undesirable effects.
