This ensures that your project is built even if your project is not declared as a build dependency of the startup project. This property is a workaround for the fact that currently there is only support for build dependencies () and not deploy dependencies in the solution build manager. This property will be used rarely in circumstances where you may have a circular set of dependencies involving a combination of build and deploy dependencies between multiple projects (for example, A has a build dependency on B while B has a deploy dependency on A; if B is the startup project, then solution build manager would not realize it needs to build A to satisfy the required deploy dependency when the above mentioned Tools option is set).

Gets or sets a boolean: true if new projects should be added on the sibling directory of the solution, otherwise false.

Gets or sets an object representing the active Solution Load Manager. The default is null. A solution load manager is able to control how projects are loaded during the Solution Open operation. It can control whether projects are loaded immediately, loaded in the background (at idle), left to be loaded if needed, or stay unloaded. A solution load manager is expected to implement . A common approach is to have the solution load manager package autoload for the SolutionOpening UIContext, for example [ProvideAutoLoad(UIContextGuids100.SolutionOpening)]. This property may also be set during or during for the pre-solution section.
