Hi,
is it possible, in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop, to use the project name in strings like
LPCTSTR mystring = TEXT(projectnamereference); /* projectnamereference is the Projects name (as a quoted string) */
?
If yes, how?

Hi Uani,
I am moving your thread into the Visual C++ Forum for dedicated support. Thanks for your understanding.

There's not direct access to MSBUILD properties but you could use a preprocessor definition to achieve this. In Project Properties, Configuration Properties, C/C++, Preprocessor, Preprocessor Definitions add PROJECT_NAME="$(ProjectName)". Then you can use PROJECT_NAME in code:
LPCTSTR mystring = TEXT(PROJECT_NAME);
