How to prevent generation of .csproj.user?

Certain user specific configurations are stored in .csproj.user. How do I tell MS Visual Studio to store this information in the .csproj every time?

Unfortunately, however, an assembly path in the .csproj.user file can override one in the .csproj file. May be a C# (or .NET) specific problem? But I got bitten by it today. So you may need to delete the .user file to get a correct build in some very rare, specific cases.

I had the same problem and the only solution I could come up with was to manually edit the .csproj.user file, cut the configuration I wanted and paste in the .csproj file. It worked fine, despite being a somewhat user-hostile solution.

You can't. Visual Studio stores the user-specific settings in the .csproj.user file, and the build settings in the .csproj file. This is to allow multiple users to work on a project, which is critical when working in a team with source control.

That being said, you can always delete the .user file, and it will be recreated, at any point in time.
