vsprops

Hi,

I've been using Visual Studio's property sheets for building my code and I have a useful hierarchy of sheets controlling the build settings, rather than having them in the vcproj files. This is great except for one thing. I can't seem to set properties in the Project Defaults section such as CharacterType and ConfigurationType.

I tried using a VCConfiguration tool in the vsprops but to no avail:

<Tool
    Name="VCConfiguration"
    ConfigurationType="4"
/>

Can anyone tell me how this is accomplished please?
