Role of the BuildingInsideVisualStudio property

[pubudu91]

I understand that this property is there to identify if the build was triggered through Visual Studio or not. But I was wondering if setting this property does anything extra/different. i.e., does setting this property influence any behaviour of MSBuild itself (not referring to use of this property in conditions of targets)?

Probably https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/msbuild/build-process-overview?view=vs-2022#visual-studio-builds-vs-msbuildexe-builds can answer it.

Thanks for the response @GangWang01. But I've already seen this and I was looking for more exact details than what's there in that doc. The section you linked to describes a couple of the major changes. Is that it? I'm more interested in the exact and complete picture of what setting the above property does.
