Visual Studio 2010 Pro: Shared test project, but developer-specific connection strings

Question

Hi,

We have multiple developers working on the same unit test project that have unique database connection strings and user credentials.

What's the best way to store this information on a per-developer basis on their local machines, so we're not always editing a source file that gets checked into our VCS and (hopefully) reverting our changes?

Thanks!

Depending on your work environment configuration and your specific needs, using a local XML file could be a good solution. You would need to read the XML file contents programmatically, of course. You may want to edit your original question and add more details about whether or not this is feasible.
