Pass arguments to compiler to set defined variables?

It is a possible to pass argument to compiler (command line) and set defined variables:

Example:

#define EXVALUE

and I want to define EXVALUE at compiling: 

application.cpp -8

'-8' it is a command line argument to define EXVALUE. So I hope that You will understand what I want, and will help me.

I use Visual Studio C++ 2008 Express Edition.

Thanks. (Sorry for english bads)

Visual Studio (so also Visual C++ EE) uses /D option.

Example:

/D "BOOST_ALL_STATIC_LINK"

You can do it by GUI : Project Properties->C/C++->Preprocessor->Preprocessor Definitions

First link in Google for visual studio preprocessor definitions has really nice information, if you need more.
