Common MSBuild Project Properties

Here is a page listing common MSBuild project properties. In particular, note the BaseOutputPath and BaseIntermediateOutputPath properties. No longer must you suffer as your projects dump all of their output into your pristine source code directories!

UPDATE: It looks like BaseIntermediateOutputPath is only 100% effective in Visual Studio 2012 and later. Earlier than that, there's a bug in the software that causes it to create an empty 'TempPE' directory, regardless of whether you override the setting. Details are here.
