When developing C/C++ using Visual Studio on Windows, most of us do not look at the contents of sln (Visual Solution File) and vcxproj (Visual Studio Project File) files. The reason is that if you select the properties of a solution or project in Visual Studio IDE, you can easily see the contents of the file in the property window.
