title: Visual Studio 2015 ordered test. How to use .runsettings
body: <p>I am having difficulty building an ordered test in Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise (Update 1) and having the unit tests within the ordered test be able to reference my <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/jj635153.aspx#example" rel="nofollow">.runsettings</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Specifically, I need to access the <code>TestRunParameters</code> defined in the <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/jj635153.aspx#example" rel="nofollow">.runsettings</a> file.</p>
  
  <p>In any of my test methods, if I access the <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualstudio.testtools.unittesting.testcontext.properties.aspx" rel="nofollow">Properties</a> of the <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualstudio.testtools.unittesting.testcontext.aspx" rel="nofollow">TestContext</a>, the properties I defined in the <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/library/jj635153.aspx#example" rel="nofollow">.runsettings</a> are not found.</p>
  
  <p>Surely I'm not the first to do this.  Any help would be appreciated.</p>
