In Visual Studio 2010, I have created and added several "project property sheets" to a project 's properties. Is there any way to point or click on one of the property pages and find out where on my hard drive, the corresponding project property file (the file with extension .props) is saved?
You can find Properties Window on the View menu. You can also open it by pressing F4 or by typing Properties in the search box. The Properties window displays different types of editing fields, depending on the needs of a particular property.
Open the shortcut menu for this item and then choose Add New Project Property Sheet. Specify a name and location. In Property Manager, open the new property sheet and then set the properties you want to include.
To open the Property Pages, choose Project > Properties from the main menu, or right-click on the project node in Solution Explorer and choose Properties. Individual files also have property pages that enable you to set compile and build options for just that file.
You'll find the Visual Studio project files in a locale-specific folder under the base directory, %VSINSTALLDIR%MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\<version> . The <version> is specific to the version of Visual Studio. It's v160 for Visual Studio 2019. Properties are also stored in any custom .
Jusr repeating Hans Passant comment as the answer so that I can mark the question as answered:
View + (Other Windows) + Property Manager. Select the property sheet, look in the Properties window. The "Property Sheet File" property shows the full path.
It's in your project folder, in the root. If it's a C# project it is .csproj
, not .props
. The project properties are stored in that file as XML.
To get there, right-click on the Project Name in Solution Explorer, and click on "Open Folder in Windows Explorer."
