How to Set Properties Sheet in VS 2010

This took me a while to figure out.

To access in VS 2010, select View ==> Property Manager option.

The property manager contains a list of projects.  Select the project you want to add a new or existing property sheet.  Right click on the project to see the options.  Adding are creating, puts the sheet in both debug and Release configurations.

Right click the property page and the property page will appear.  Select the User Macros property.  This displays a pane where you can add or remove macros.  The macro is added under both debug and release.
