which file actually write the properties of the project when we load the project into visual studio?

I have loaded an open source project in two PCs, both Pcs' have same configaration. But when I compare the properties of project in both PCs' are different.

My question is: which file actually write the properties of the project when we load the project into visual studio?

All of a project's properties are stored in the .vcxproj file, except for:

  • Properties on the Debugging page, which are stored in the .user file
  • How files are organised in project filters (the tree structure of the project): these are stored in the .filters file

Notice that project properties can also reference Property files (.vsprops) and incorporate settings from them.

Also bear in mind that property values can contain variable references (such as $(SolutionDir)) which are expanded at build time.
