Settings.settings - How do I change from one environment to another?

Question

I have a Web App Project (compiled DLL) along with 3 DLL projects. In my DLL projects I am using the Properties/Setting.settings to extract mutable settings from the DLL. However, when I publish from environment to the next I have not figured how to change the Settings.settings values for the new environment. It appears that the settings.settings values are stored in the [project root]/app.settings file. However, when a DLL project compiles it does NOT create a [project name].config file for deployment.

What am I missing?

Answer 1

I ended up not using the settings.settings in the DLL and moved everything to a custom config section in my web.config. Everything is up and running and all of my dependencies were not broken.
