There is a <OutputType> property in the <OutputType>

Winform / WPF:

 <OutputType>WinExe</OutputType>

Console:

 <OutputType>Exe</OutputType>

Dll (including web applications):

 <OutputType>Library</OutputType>

Which makes you part of this journey. To get the final answer, you can look for other properties or components that you know are unique to the project (for example, xaml files in a WPF application (thanks to JMD).

You can see the icons in Solution Explorer, but I think they are too small.

You can also find .csproj files. If you are viewing them in a text editor, there is a node called <OutputType> that can give you some idea.
