Apply a property sheet to empty C++ visual studio project -

i have created empty visual c++ project , add single main.cpp like:

#include <mylib.h>  int main() {      abc();      return 0; } 

where abc() function in mylib say. use mylib following settings need pointing right locations.

configaration setting -> vc++ directories -> executable directories  configaration setting -> vc++ directories -> include directories  configaration setting -> vc++ directories -> library directories  configaration setting -> linker -> input -> additional dependencies  

this tedious multiple projects i'd set property sheet these settings. when add property sheet project following xml stub generated:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  <project toolsversion="4.0" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">   <importgroup label="propertysheets" />   <propertygroup label="usermacros" />   <propertygroup />   <itemdefinitiongroup />   <itemgroup /> </project> 

but property editor blank property sheet?

i want simple solution adding needed external library setting project?

in order edit property sheet please select

view->property manager

in view, open property pages , edit settings double clicking settings file. don't use properties window.
