Link to all Visual Studio $ variables
Visual Studio has a lot of environment variables like $(TargetFileName) but I can't seem to find a list of all of them on MSDN or via Google.
Does such a list exist?
NOTE: See the top answer for the duplicate question (link above) for a link to a list on MSDN.
Solution 1:
In most places where you can use those, there's a "Macros" button or similar, which shows all available macros and the current value of them. For example, go to the PostBuild event editor to find the list.
Edit: I just checked. There's a list in MSDN.
Solution 2:
You can get the list of available environment variables directly within Visual Studio 2010 with the following steps:
- in Visual Studio env, right click on your project
- properties
- configuration properties / C++ / General
- for ex. go into Additional Include directories
- 'dropdown' Edit
- Macros
There you will find a complete list of available macros with their values set according to your settings. This can be very useful when debugging or selecting the right macro for your project settings.
