Compile .NET console app as single executable

I have a console app written in F# targeting .NET Framework 4.6.2. The artifacts of my build are MyApp.exe and FSharp.Core.dll. This page https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/fsharp/language-reference/compiler-options suggests that the —-standalone flag should allow me to produce a stand-alone MyApp.exe. How do I do that in Visual Studio (2017) or through some other means?

Right-click on the project, select Properties, select Build, in the ‘Other flags’ field enter --standalone.

In Visual Studio, you can right-click on the project, go to properties and specify --standalone in "Other flags". The following screenshot is from VS2015, but I think this looks the same in VS2017.

Also, if you are using both Debug and Release builds, you will need to specify this for both of them.
