Prebuild event in Visual Studio replacing $(SolutionDir) with *Undefined*

Question

I believe the problem is documented here moved here and looks like it might be a bug in visual studio, but I\'m wondering if anyone knows of a workaround.

Wasted a lot of time to find perfect solution for this problem. Use Directory.Build.props.

In your sln location folder create a file with name Directory.Build.props and put this code inside:

 
    $(MSBuildThisFileDirectory)
 

This file will be automagically picked up by all your csproj files and will define (SolutionDir) property.
