+VS_DEPLOYMENT_CONTENT
+---------------------
+
+Mark a source file as content for deployment with a Windows Phone or
+Windows Store application when built with a Visual Studio generator.
+The value must evaluate to either ``1`` or ``0`` and may use
+:manual:`generator expressions <cmake-generator-expressions(7)>`
+to make the choice based on the build configuration.
+The ``.vcxproj`` file entry for the source file will be
+marked either ``DeploymentContent`` or ``ExcludedFromBuild``
+for values ``1`` and ``0``, respectively.

+---------------------------------
+
+* A :prop_sf:`VS_DEPLOYMENT_CONTENT` source file property was added
+  to tell the Visual Studio generators to mark content for deployment
+  in Windows Phone and Windows Store projects.
+
+* The Visual Studio generators learned to treat ``.hlsl`` source
+  files as High Level Shading Language sources (using ``FXCompile``
+  in ``.vcxproj`` files).  A :prop_sf:`VS_SHADER_TYPE` source file
+  property was added to specify the Shader Type.
