In MSBuild is it possible to determine if I'm running in Visual Studio

Question

Are the any MSBuild properties that Visual Studio sets? I\'m looking to have some conditional behavior depending on the version (if any) of visual studio.

To directly address the question in your title - if you just want to know if you are being built from VS or not, check the value of IsDesktopBuild which will return true or false appropriately.
