+concept applies to the default build of other generators.
+
+With ``EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL`` set to false or not set at all, the target
+will be brought up to date as part of doing a ``make install`` or its
+equivalent for the CMake generator being used. If a target has
+``EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL`` set to true, then any attempt to install that
+target has undefined behavior. Note that such a target can still safely
+be listed in an :command:`install(TARGETS)` command as long as the install
+components the target belongs to are not part of the set of components
+that anything tries to install.
This property is enabled by default for targets that are created in
directories that have :prop_dir:`EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL` set to ``TRUE``.

+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>")
