A BuildPropertyGroup object can represent a PropertyGroup element in the project, or a virtual collection of properties, such as global properties or environment variable properties.

The following example creates a Project object and uses the LoadXml method to add content to the project. The BuildProperty, BuildPropertyGroup, and BuildPropertyGroupCollection classes are used to add, remove, and change items in the project.
