Modify .suo file

Question

I need to modify a .suo file.

Basically, I have a client-server application. The client needs a "cookie" to log into the server, which is generated every day and retrieved on the client machine by another process. This "cookie" needs to be set in the "Debugging Command Arguments".

I want to automate this process by modifying the .suo file directly through another app / script. Is there a way I can do this?

I looked at Tool to view the contents of the Solution User Options file (.suo), but that did not help much. I have no idea about those methods and would need a bit more direction.

how about putting the cookie in a config file? – kenny Oct 01 '09 at 19:36 — kenny, Oct 01 '09 at 19:36

I think that the Command Line Debug parameters are stored in the proj.user file, yeah? That's just an XML file and should be easy enough to modify.
