Html is off. [quote][i]Originally posted by leinad[/i] [br]I'm working on a solution with over 30 projects in it, and are using environment variables to change compilation properties, like the paths of some libraries and headers. Since I'm setting these variables with My Computer->Properties->Advanced->Environment Variables, I need to restart Visual Studio whenever I want to compile with different env. vars. For example, I have set the Configuration Properties/General/Linker/Output File to "C:\\_usr\\$(PluginVersion)\\Helper.dll" in the Property Page of a project, and "C:\\App\\Main$(PluginVersion)\\include" in IDE-wide Options/Projects And Solutions/VC++ Directories/ Show Directories for Include files because the Helper.dll is a plugin for "Main1.0" or "Main1.5". I think it would be great if Visual Assist would add a some type of interface where Visual Studio environment variables could be added and changed without needing to restart the IDE. Or is there already a way to define solution wide environment variables whose settings have immediate effects from within VS? Sorry for that bad English.
