&nbsp;Suppose I have some common settings (i.e. email addresses, paths, etc) between some FB projects. What's the best practice for loading up these settings in my projects. I would rather not have to create the same variables over and over again in each project (i.e. and then load the settings up from some ini file). I'm trying to make my builds very modular and componentized so any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks

Hi Jonathan   
  
 In this case, I would create a master project that has the variables and have it load the values from an ini file. This master project can then include the other projects as needed, and share the variables namespace (an option on the include action).
