There are three ways of specifying a run settings file in Visual Studio 2019 version 16.4 and later:

- Add a build property to a project through either the project file or a Directory.Build.props file. The run settings file for a project is specified by the property **RunSettingsFilePath**.
- Add a build property to a project through either the project file or a Directory.Build.props file. The run settings file for a project is specified by the property **RunSettingsFilePath**.

- Project-level run settings is currently supported in C#, VB, C++, and F# projects.
- A file specified for a project overrides any other run settings file specified in the solution.
- [These MSBuild properties](https://docs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/msbuild/msbuild-reserved-and-well-known-properties?view=vs-2019) can be used to specify the path to the runsettings file.

Example of specifying a *.runsettings* file for a project:

```xml
<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">
<PropertyGroup>
<RunSettingsFilePath>$(SolutionDir)\example.runsettings</RunSettingsFilePath>
<RunSettingsFilePath>$(MSBuildProjectDirectory)\example.runsettings</RunSettingsFilePath>
</PropertyGroup>
...
</Project>
