Public Module Module1
    Sub Test()
        Dim prj As VCProject
        Dim cfgs, tools As IVCCollection
        Dim cfg As VCConfiguration
        Dim tool As VCCLCompilerTool
        Dim oldUndefs As String
        prj = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1).Object
        cfgs = prj.Configurations
        cfg = cfgs.Item(1)
        tool = cfg.Tools("VCCLCompilerTool")
        oldUndefs = tool.UndefinePreprocessorDefinitions
        tool.UndefinePreprocessorDefinitions = "_DEBUG;" + oldUndefs
