'C# make class from swagger.json as part of build

In ViaulStudio I clicked some buttons via Add Connected Service and have ended up with a C# class that I can use to call a HTTP API.

It looks like the HTTP API produces a json metadata document that describes the HTTP API, and then this is used to generate the C# class.

In order to fix the build I copied the generated .cs file out of the obj directory and added it to the soure control -- I presume this is wrong?

It seems that it should be possible to add the .json file to the repository instead and have the C# class generated as a pre-build event.

Is this the right idea? How are you supposed to get this to work with source control?

        GenerateExceptionClasses forces it off but not on.
        Therefore we have to generate ApiException, move it to a separate file, and then reference it.
