How can I set a project-specific environmental variable in Visual Studio?

I need to know whether there is any setting available in "visual studio project setting" to create a environment variable like thing in visual studio 2008 Express edition so that I need not to add into "system variable" for any specific project.

Yes, there most definitely is!

You can configure environment variables for the debugger for an individual project. You'll find the options in your project's Properties window (Alt+F7), under the "Debugging" category.

Fill in the "Environment" property with whatever variables you like.

The screenshot is from VS 2010, but everything looks pretty much the same in VS 2008:

Look for the "Environment" property under the "Debugging" category

You can also do this with property sheets if you're so inclined or need this for multiple projects.
