Property Differences

Environment-level properties, which you access in the Options Dialog Box (Visual Studio) on the Tools menu, are organized in categories represented by the DTE Properties Collections. Visual Studio Macros exposes several predefined categories for its properties. If Visual Studio Macros does not support a property or option, it produces an error message.
