Remarks

The persisted name will usually be the same as the property name as it appears in the Rule and the value of this property can therefore be left at is default of null. Since property names must be unique but need not be unique in the persisted store (due to other differences in the data source such as item type) there may be times when Rule property names must be changed to be unique in the XAML file, but without changing how the property is persisted in the MSBuild file. It is in those cases where this property becomes useful.

It may also be useful in specialized build environments where property names must differ from the normally used name in order to maintain compatibility with the project system.
