Where are Build variables stored with .net Visual Studio Project Properties?

Hi. I'm making the onerous transition from developing in .net Framework to .net alone. Currently upgrading a load of projects and hit a snag.

The project properties system is very different. I'm wanting to be able to change things before a build such as the Package Version. However, under ProjectProperties>Build, these seem to be stored in a tokenised format:

$(AssemblyName)
$(VersionPrefix)
$(Authors)

etc. I might not be looking hard enough - but where the hell does msbuild pull these vars from??
