Compile Tab missing from project properties in Visual Studio 2012

When I right click on a project in my solution and go into the properties, I don't see the Compile tab on the left. I see Application, Build, Build Events and then the next one is Debug.

I've Googled for this but couldn't find anything, and also couldn't find anything here. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks!

The Compile tab shows up for Visual Basic projects, but not for C# projects. For Visual Basic it mainly houses constructs specific to VB, like OPTION EXPLICIT, but there are elements like target platform that are found on the Build tab for C#. The target framework, available under the Advanced Compile Options of the Visual Basic Compile tab is found on the C# Application tab.

UPDATE: With Update 2 of Visual Studio 2012 I'm now seeing Target Framework for a VB project also in the Application tab.
