What tool generates Settings.Designer.cs?

[Frank Rizzo]

Hello, I am trying to automate deployment of the same project to several
servers in one shot (e.g. dev, qa, etc...). Depending on the server,
the app should access a different web service. The web service seems to
be defined in the Settings.Designer.cs (which is a generated file). I
am wondering which tool generates this file.

Thanks.

Hi Frank,

That file is generated by SettingsSingleFileGenerator and it shouldn't be
modifed.
Instead you should consider alternative ways, such as user-scoped settings
or putting url in the user.config file or something like that.

I don't understand why you say it shouldn't be modified. It is
well-documented how to make your own. Personally, I like this example of
how to do it:

I was trying to say that the generated file shouldn't be manually modifed.
Sorry for the confusion

How do I invoke this code generation tool from the command line?
I don't see any SettingsSingleFileGenerator.exe files.

You can't easily afaik - this is a COM component invoked through certain
inerface(s).
