On 01-19-2006, Faisal Mohamood (Program Manager|Visual Studio - MSBuild) said the following:
>> A standard visual studio project will automatically import the user file into itself via the Microsoft.Common.targets - so all you have to do is drop the file next to the main project file. As an experiment, try this: Go to project properties page, and specify a reference path for the project, and save the project. You should then be able to see a .csproj.user or .vbproj.user file saved out by Visual Studio. Reference Paths is an example of customization that Visual Studio treats as a user specific property.<<
We use the .user files in order to change the ReferencePath property per project per user as suggested in the documention for projects on our windows application projects in Studio 2003.
Unfortunately, for web projects, the .user files don't seem to have any affect on the ReferencePath property. Is a web project not a 'standard visual studio project'
Is there another way to dynamically change the ReferencePath property
Thanks,
Dave

Web projects use a totally different project system than managed language projects. You'll need to ask over in the http://forums.asp.net/ groups for assistance on doing this for web applications.
