Abstract:
Project properties allow you to control how the project is built, its security settings, file names, file paths, and so on. Often the properties are handled manually by setting values in the Properties window. However, the automation model in Visual Studio that applies to projects developed with specific languages offers objects that can programmatically manipulate projects, project items, and configuration properties in Visual Basic, Visual C#, or Visual J# projects.
