visual-studio Project settings

Question

While updating project settings for different sub-projects under a project, i'm updating settings for each sub-project one after the other. Instead of doing so, can i update the common settings once for all the sub-projects?

In the Visual Studio UI, generally the answer is no.

But in most cases you can make a change in a single project then diff the .csproj file (which is just XML) against the previous version to see what the IDE changed (in most cases, only a single element or attribute will change), and then use a global file replace (or similar) to propagate that change quickly through many projects.
