title: Regenerate Settings.settings
body: <p>I am in the process of refactoring a project that was, to my chagrin, written in Visual Studio. I come from a Linux background and find Visual Studio a catacomb of disempowering menus. </p>
  
  <p>I am trying to move a <code>Settings.settings</code> file from one solution into another. </p>
  
  <p>Copying all the text from <code>Settings.Designer.cs</code> has produced the desired compile time functionality, but I can't seem to use the gui for changing properties. The gui doesn't show any properties, unlike my source project. I also worry that my changes will disappear at VS's whim (when it regenerates this file).</p>
  
  <p>How can I regenerate these properties from my existing configuration file?</p>
