if ".props" is a property sheet why is it missing from the C# property manager

I am using the adobe SDK to build an app. The ".csproj" sample file for c# had the following phrase

  <Import Project="Config\WinCommonSettings.props" />

When I tried building my app I had to manually add that phrase to my ".csproj" file. The property manager for my c# project had a blank dialog box with the warning "no c++ project loaded'

    Hi @Joseph Stateson

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

    The Property Manager is used in C++ project rather than C# project. 

    Sincerely,

    Anna

    The only thing I can think of is the DLL built by the adobe SDK is not 64 bit

    You can use sigcheck to look at the MachineType value.

    Sorry for changing my question. I am new to this forum.

    My first post generated a 404 error so I hit the back button of Edge and re-posted. This got me two posts and I was unable to delete the extra post so I changed it to my second question.

    Thanks for answering and the DLL is 32bit not 64. I assume that is the problem but it is just a guess.

    I just realized that VS 2022 actually builds the acrobat dll so obviously x86 and All_CPU will have 32 bit DLLs
