Summary0012586: [patch] CMake does not support Visual Studio projects types or dotnet references with managed C++
DescriptionCMake currently does not support setting project types or .NET references on managed C++ projects with the Visual Studio 10 generator.

This is not a very "cross-platform" feature (unless Mono supports managed C++?) but it is necessary for unit testing projects in Visual Studio.
Steps To ReproduceCreate a shared library project with managed C++ files with the Visual Studio 10 generator, and observe the apparent inability to specify ProjectType value for the generated project XML file. Without specifying the correct UUID in this field, Visual Studio will not recognize the project as a unit test project.
Additional InformationThe attached patch adds support for three new project properties:

VS_GLOBAL_PROJECT_TYPES: A string containing UUIDs to embed in the Visual Studio project file under <ProjectTypes>.

VS_GLOBAL_KEYWORD: Allows specification of a keyword like "ManagedCProj" instead of the default "Win32Proj", under <Keyword>

VS_DOTNET_REFERENCES: Semicolon-delimited list of .NET references to add to the project, which creates a new <ItemGroup>.


I tried to copy the coding style but might not have it quite right, there wasn't much guidance on the wiki. If there is a better way to introduce these changes, I'm happy to resubmit.
TagsNo tags attached.

Thanks for working on this. Please update the patch to add the appropriate property documentation in cmTarget.cxx, next to the documentation for VS_SCC*.

This change has no effect unless the properties are set so it looks harmless to existing projects.

I applied the patch with some minor line length adjustments:
