title: What does Microsoft.Common.props do
body: <p>I noticed that when I create a project using Class Library template the .csproj contains import of Microsoft.Common.props</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Import Project="$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\$(MSBuildToolsVersion)\Microsoft.Common.props" Condition="Exists('$(MSBuildExtensionsPath)\$(MSBuildToolsVersion)\Microsoft.Common.props')" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However when I create a project using Unit Test Project template it is not present.</p>
  
  <p>So what does Microsoft.Common.props do? How does it benefit the project?</p>
