+VS_SOLUTION_DEPLOY
+------------------
+
+Specify that the target should be marked for deployment when not targeting
+Windows CE, Windows Phone or a Windows Store application.
+
+If the target platform doesn't support deployment, this property won't have any effect.
+
+Generator expressions are supported.
+
+Example 1
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+This shows setting the variable for the target foo.
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  add_executable(foo SHARED foo.cpp)
+  set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY VS_SOLUTION_DEPLOY ON)
+
+Example 2
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+This shows setting the variable for the Release configuration only.
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  add_executable(foo SHARED foo.cpp)
+  set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY VS_SOLUTION_DEPLOY "$<NOT:$<CONFIG:Release>>")
