Delphi Prism common source code file extensions include:

• .SLN - Solution File. Contains solution specific information such as links to the projects within this solution.
• .Oxygene - Project File. Contains project specific information but this is not the Delphi-like project file Delphi developers are used to. This is the VS.Net project file.
  
• Program.pas - This is the Delphi-like .dpr project-equivalent file and contains the Main method which is the entry point for the executable. All .NET projects except for DLLs needs one.
  
• .pas - Delphi Prism source file (same extension as Delphi for Win32).
• .Designer.pas - Prism form file (a text resource file).
