+VS_NO_SOLUTION_DEPLOY
+---------------------
+
+Specify that the target should not be marked for deployment to a Windows CE
+or Windows Phone device in the generated Visual Studio solution.
+
+Be default, all EXE and shared library (DLL) targets are marked to deploy to
+the target device in the generated Visual Studio solution.
+
+Generator expressions are supported.
+
+There are reasons one might want to exclude a target / generated project from
+deployment:
+
+- The library or executable may not be necessary in the primary deploy/debug
+  scenario, and excluding from deployment saves time in the
+  develop/download/debug cycle.
+- There may be insufficient space on the target device to accommodate all of
+  the build products.
+- Visual Studio 2013 requires a target device IP address be entered for each
+  target marked for deployment.  For large numbers of targets, this can be
+  tedious.
+  NOTE: Visual Studio *will* deploy all project dependencies of a project
+  tagged for deployment to the IP address configured for that project even
+  if those dependencies are not tagged for deployment.
+
+
+Example 1
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+This shows setting the variable for the target foo.
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  add_library(foo SHARED foo.cpp)
+  set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY VS_NO_SOLUTION_DEPLOY ON)
+
+Example 2
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+This shows setting the variable for the Release configuration only.
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  add_library(foo SHARED foo.cpp)
+  set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY VS_NO_SOLUTION_DEPLOY "$<CONFIG:Release>")

+* A :prop_tgt:`VS_NO_SOLUTION_DEPLOY` target property was added to
