 # ItemDefinitionGroup element (MSBuild)
-The `ItemDefinitionGroup` element lets you define a set of Item Definitions, which are metadata values that are applied to all items in the project, by default. ItemDefinitionGroup supersedes the need to use the [CreateItem task](../msbuild/createitem-task.md) and the [CreateProperty task](../msbuild/createproperty-task.md). For more information, see [Item definitions](../msbuild/item-definitions.md).

-## Example  
- The following code example defines two metadata items, m and n, in an ItemDefinitionGroup. In this example, the default metadata "m" is applied to Item "i" because metadata "m" is not explicitly defined by Item "i". However, default metadata "n" is not applied to Item "i" because metadata "n" is already defined by Item "i".
