Arbitrary Visual Studio properties are set (IIRC) via the [`VS_USER_PROPS`](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_tgt/VS_USER_PROPS.html) property. This may require a dedicated property however; I’m not familiar enough with VS to know.

thank you so much.  
I have read this issue. this issue just describe about set this property in the .csproj file.  
however. there is no mention of how to set in the cmake script.

@craigtao: If this functionality was present in CMake, that issue would have been closed 😉 The issue is still open because it is not implemented yet. AFAICS, adding this functionality is fairly trivial (assuming general C/C++ knowledge); feel free to give it a shot 🙂
