visual studio - Can a file name of a .vxproj be used as a variable within the file itself?

Question

My intention is to use the file-name as Projectname:

So I do have (for example) a vs project-file: "MyAwesomeProject.vxproj"

And I would like to use it (for example) this way: <ProjectName>$(ProjectFileName)</ProjectName>

$(Projectname) now would have the value "MyAwesomeProject"

Now I do know that "ProjectFileName" is a not existing variable, but is there an other variable that I can make this work with?

Answer 1

I found the solution! I just had to dig a little bit deeper over here:

$(MSBuildProjectName) is the variable that I needed. It is the file-name without the extension.
