List of MSBuild built-in variables
How can I get a list of built-in MSBuild variables?
I need to know how to determine the current project's csproj name, and thought it might be useful to know what else I can find out in MSBuild.
Comprehensive lists from Microsoft Docs (New Docs):
- Common macros for MSBuild commands and properties
Comprehensive lists from MSDN (Legacy Docs):
- MSBuild reserved properties
- Common MSBuild properties
- Macros for Build Commands and Properties
Other useful lists:
- Well-known item metadata
- MSBuild special characters
First link shows the MSBuild property for project name:
MSBuildProjectName The file name of the project file without the file name extension

These properties can also be defined by 3rd-party tools so to get the complete list I just use (in a C++ project for example): Properties -> Configuration Properties -> General -> then on the Output or Intermediate Directory drop down choose Edit... and you should see a list of all defined properties.
This seems like a pretty thorough list: Common macros for MSBuild commands and properties
