ProjectSection(SolutionItems) = preProject

Question

_{Wednesday, February 11, 2015 2:21 AM}

Recently, I'm coding one sub project. 

And I added to the main project, but there are some lines different, and I can't get the meaning.

  ProjectSection(SolutionItems) = preProject
       ....
  EndProjectSection

Could someone kindly tell me what's that used for?

   Project("{2150E333-8FDC-42A3-9474-1A3956D46DE8}") = "Sensors", "Sensors", "{CC112F0C-89DF-48FF-A402-9AF337996FD8}"
    ProjectSection(SolutionItems) = preProject
        ..\..\Sensor\ov2740\ov2740.VcxProj = ..\..\Sensor\ov2740\ov2740.VcxProj
    EndProjectSection
EndProject

Hi DeDriver,

Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.

(1)According to your description, could you please tell me which kind of solution/ project you create, is it a C++ or other?

(2)What version of VS you create the solution/project? If possible, I suggest you can share me a screen shot about the your project hierarchy in Solution Explorer.

(3)Where did you get/see the code as you provided?

Project("{2150E333-8FDC-42A3-9474-1A3956D46DE8}") = "Sensors", "Sensors", "{CC112F0C-89DF-48FF-A402-9AF337996FD8}"
ProjectSection(SolutionItems) = preProject
..\.\Sensor\ov2740\ov2740.VcxProj = ..\.\Sensor\ov2740\ov2740.VcxProj
EndProjectSection
EndProject

Generally, I know that when we right-click the Solution->Add New Item->Select a such as bmp file or .cs file like the following screen shot.

So the ProjectSection(SolutionItems) = preProject is used to add new item under the Solution.

to further help you solve this issue, please tell me more detail message about this issue.
