Description

Unlike legacy, CPS does not show the defaults for properties for C# projects:

Legacy:

CPS:

This makes it very difficult to figure out what a property does without experimenting. This behavior is entirely based on C++ usage which stores the defaults of these in special targets files, but we don't inherit or get that behavior.
