Accessing the runtime library property in visual studio 2010 - visual-studio-2010

Question

This is basically a follow up question to:
Using Visual Studio project properties effectively for multiple projects and configurations
Our library's target name is currently in this format:
$(ProjectName)-$(PlatformToolset)-$(PlatformShortName)-$(Configuration)
We'd like to add information about the runtime library used by the project to the target name, I tried adding $(RuntimeLibrary), but that doesn't seem to be set. Is there any other way to get the runtime library at the time the target name is resolved?
Thanks,
John.

With this property sheet you can do this. Import it in your property sheet and you will be able to access the RuntimeLibrary this way: $(RuntimeLibrary)
Yes!!! This will work in your propertie sheet =^.~=
