What exactly does this property do? It is being added automatically to my .csproj file when I open the solution in VS 2015 RTM.
The only thing I can find on it is here:

Hi,
Actually VS2015 only has RC version for now, RTM version is not released yet:
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/vs2015-vs.aspx
IIS provides applicationHost.config file(located in system folder C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\ and user profile C:\Users\user>\Documents\IIS\config\, this configuration file is to store the settings for all the web application host in the IIS. But in VS2015, solution has it's own applicationHost.config file which is stored in a hidden folder <solution folder>\vs\config\ the projects will only use this configuration file. But we can still use the global configuration file by setting the UseGlobalApplicationHostFile property to true in the project file.
The above information should give you some insight on this property.

Do you mean going straight editing in the XML file? I couldn't find this setting in the Project Page.

Any idea if this setting is compatible with VS 2013? I have some colleagues who have not yet updated to VS 2015. For now, I'm manually excluding the relevant lines from my commits. Thanks!
