How to upgrade the CUDA version in a Visual Studio solution?

Earlier I installed CUDA 9.2 on my machine and built a solution with it. Then I upgraded Visual Studio 2017 to a revision that is not supported by CUDA 9.2, so I'm getting errors like:

1>D:\Dev\Views\Engines\ProbQA\ProbQA\PqaCore>"C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v9.2\bin\nvcc.exe" -gencode=arch=compute_61,code=\"sm_61,compute_61\" --use-local-env -ccbin "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\HostX64\x64" -x cu -rdc=true -ID:\Dev\Views\Engines\ProbQA\ProbQA\PqaCore\ -I"C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v9.2\include" -I"C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v9.2\include" -I"C:\Program Files\NVIDIA GPU Computing Toolkit\CUDA\v9.2\include" --source-in-ptx -G -lineinfo  --keep-dir x64\Debug -maxrregcount=32  --machine 64 --compile -cudart static  -g   -D_DEBUG -D_WINDOWS -D_USRDLL -DPQACORE_EXPORTS -D_WINDLL -D_UNICODE -DUNICODE -Xcompiler "/EHsc /W4 /nologo /Od /FS /Zi /RTC1 /MDd /GR" -o x64\Debug\CudaEngineGpu.cu.obj "D:\Dev\Views\Engines\ProbQA\ProbQA\PqaCore\CudaEngineGpu.cu"

I've installed CUDA 10.0 that claims to be compatible with VS2017 Update 8 and any later versions. However, my solution still uses CUDA 9.2.

How to upgrade the solution to CUDA 10.0? Can I do this from GUI somewhere, or do I have to edit project files and something else?

You have two ways to upgrade the CUDA version in a Visual Studio solution:

  1. Build dependencies -> Build customizations;
  2. Open the vcxproj file associated to the Visual Studio solution and change 9.2 to 10.0 wherever 9.2 occurs.
