Visual Studio 2015
 

The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

For the latest documentation on Visual Studio 2017, see Customize Project Files Created by VSTU on docs.microsoft.com. Visual Studio Tools for Unity provides a Unity-style callback during project file generation. Register with the VisualStudioIntegration.ProjectFileGeneration event to modify the project file whenever it's regenerated.
