Applying MS build condition based on specific file(s) is not a common case, but when you have to face this kind of case, you would always feel upset to manually change XML project file directly.
- File configurations, like based on different environments
- Resource files, images, localizations, etc. for different environment or purposes.
- Source codes for different environment or purposes.
In Visual Studio Extension Marketplace, search and install Project Item Condition Extension.
When your solution/project are opened in Visual Studio -> Select any source code file -> Right click and select Apply Item Condition menu item -> In popup dialog, select the build condition you want to apply -> Click Apply button -> Done. (Visual Studio would remind you to reload solution/projects. Please do it and condition take effected.)
When your solution/project are opened in Visual Studio -> Select any source code file -> Right click and select Setup Configuration (DEV/QA/STAGING/PROD) menu item -> Done. (It would update and save all documents)
