Hi, I am using below code to generate Visual studio project file.

```gradle
apply plugin: 'visual-studio'
  model {
    visualStudio {
        projects.all {
            projectFile.location = "vs/${name}.vcxproj"
            filtersFile.location = "vs/${name}.vcxproj.filters"
        }
        solutions.all {
            solutionFile.location = "vs/${name}.sln"
        }
    }
}

```

However it generates the visual studio 2010 project file. Is there any configuration that creates the visual studio 2012 projects?

Thanks Mandar
