Visual Studio Solutions / Multiple project : How to effectively propagate project properties amongst several C++ projects

Question

I am working with a Visual Studio 2005 C++ solution that includes multiple projects (about 30). Based upon my experience, it often becomes annoying to maintain all the prop

Answer 1

I think you need to investigate properties files, i.e. *.vsprops (older) or *.props (latest)

You do need to add the properties file manually to each project, but once that's done, you have multiple projects, but one .[vs]props file. If you change the properties, all projects inherit the new settings.
