What is the app.xml file that shows up in the release folder of my app?

Visual Studio 2005
VB.NET

When I build my Windows app a file called myappname.xml (without the .exe) shows up and I don't know what it is.  Here are the contents of the file.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<doc>
<assembly>
<name>
MyAppName
</name>
</assembly>
<members>
<member name="P:MyAppName.My.Resources.Resources.ResourceManager">
      <summary>
  Returns the cached ResourceManager instance used by this class.
</summary>
</member><member name="P:MyAppName.My.Resources.Resources.Culture">
      <summary>
  Overrides the current thread's CurrentUICulture property for all
  resource lookups using this strongly typed resource class.
</summary>
</member><member name="T:MyAppName.My.Resources.Resources">
      <summary>
  A strongly-typed resource class, for looking up localized strings, etc.
</summary>
</member>
</members>
</doc>

What is this?  Do I need to deploy it?  If I don't need it can I stop it from being created?
