Hello

I was used to visual embedde and visual studio 6 and the new version of
visual (2005) disturb me a bit.
there is no way to add or remove a preprocessor definition for multiple
configuration.
for insatnce if i need to had a defintion for both release and debug
configuration i need to set it manually twice. in visual embedded when
we selected multiple configuration, it shows common definitions and
allow you to remove one of them or to add one to all setting at a time.

is there a way to recover this major functionnalitty using macro or add
in
for instance.

thanks a lot

Look into the new Property Sheets feature of VS2005. You can put common
properties into a separate .vsprops file and then inherit from that in your
project, so options you set there will come through to all configurations.

properties.

They're definitely supported all the way down to the Express Edition for
VC++ at least - you haven't said what language you're using? In what way
does the IDE refuse to add or edit them?
