    <p>The following is taken from a regular VS2010 C++ project.</p> <pre><code> &lt;ClCompile&gt; &lt;WarningLevel&gt;Level3&lt;/WarningLevel&gt; &lt;PrecompiledHeader&gt;Use&lt;/PrecompiledHeader&gt; &lt;Optimization&gt;MaxSpeed&lt;/Optimization&gt; &lt;FunctionLevelLinking&gt;true&lt;/FunctionLevelLinking&gt; &lt;IntrinsicFunctions&gt;true&lt;/IntrinsicFunctions&gt; &lt;PreprocessorDefinitions&gt;WIN32;NDEBUG;_CONSOLE;%(PreprocessorDefinitions)&lt;/PreprocessorDefinitions&gt; &lt;/ClCompile&gt; </code></pre> <p>If i edit <code>PreprocessorDefinitions</code> i can set a definition that is used by the preprocessor. I can see this in my code via <code>#ifdef</code> etc.</p> <p>However if i use the following </p> <pre><code> &lt;Target Name="NormalBuild" Condition=" '$(_InvalidConfigurationWarning)' != 'true' " DependsOnTargets="_DetermineManagedStateFromCL;CustomBeforeBuild;$(BuildDependsOn)" Returns="@(ManagedTargetPath)"&gt; &lt;ItemGroup&gt; &lt;ManagedTargetPath Include="$(TargetPath)" Condition="'$(ManagedAssembly)' == 'true'" /&gt; &lt;/ItemGroup&gt; &lt;Message Text="PreprocessorDefinitions: $(PreprocessorDefinitions)" Importance="High" /&gt; &lt;/Target&gt; &lt;Target Name="TestBuild" Returns="@(ManagedTargetPath)"&gt; &lt;MSBuild Projects="demo.vcxproj" Targets="NormalBuild" Properties="PreprocessorDefinitions=THISGETSSETBUTDOESNOTHING"/&gt; &lt;/Target&gt; </code></pre> <p>i can also see via the message that <code>PreprocessorDefinitions</code> contains the value i set via <code>Properties="PreprocessorDefinitions=THISGETSSETBUTDOESNOTHING"</code> but i can not control my build using <code>#ifdef</code> etc. If i use a regular setup and try to output <code>PreprocessorDefinitions</code> using <code>&lt;Message Text="PreprocessorDefinitions: $(PreprocessorDefinitions)"</code> the field is actually blank and does not contain the expected <code>&lt;PreprocessorDefinitions&gt;WIN32;NDEBUG;_CONSOLE;%(PreprocessorDefinitions)&lt;/PreprocessorDefinitions&gt;</code> although i can use any one of those keys to control my build using <code>#ifdef</code> etc.</p> <ol> <li>Why is that?</li> <li>What can i do to pass PreprocessorDefinitions für a VS2010 C++ Project via the tasks <code>Properties</code> element?</li> </ol>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
