The uigen.exe config file is the configuration file for uigen.exe.
It specifies "placeholders" and their values, which uigen.exe uses in
the templates. You can find the sample uigen.exe config file
here: sample uigen.exe configuration file. As always, it assumes
canonical project structure, and that the re-motion framework is
located in a sub-directory of the solution, as explained here:
PhoneBook project structure.

There is also a settings node with path information to uigen.exe templates.

...

• $ReferencesDir$: the name of the directory in
  the web application project for storing the
  references to the domain- and re-motion assemblies
  By convention, this node is named "References" in
  Visual Studio, so that's probably what you will use
  for the placeholder value.
• $DomainProjectName$: the name of the node directory with the
  domain project in Visual Studio . $DomainProjectAssembly$: don't know, FIXME(not to be confused with the
  namespace)
• $DomainProjectAssembly$: The name of the domain assembly
  that shall be inspected by uigen.exe (i.e. where to find
  the domain object classes, without ".dll")
• $WebProjectName$: the name of the node directory with the web application
  project in Visual Studio. (generated by uigen.exe.)
• $WebProjectAssembly$: don't know, FIXME$WebClientAssembly$: the name of the assembly that is the
  target of the web project's target. (i.e. the .dll-product showing up
  in bin\Debug or bin\Release after a compile and link).
• $USER_APPNAME$: a string with the display name of the
  generated web application (generated by uigen.exe.)
• $USER_DEFAULT_ASPX_TOPIC$: a string to be shown on the default.aspx
  page showing the Start link to aid the user (the string
  usually says "To start the application, just click 'Start'")
  This is harder to explain than to demonstrate. Click here and
  you will easily understand it: FIXME
• $USER_DEFAULT_STARTPAGES$: an invocation of the re:-call
  function to be called automatically after startup. In
  other words, an URL-fragment for the browser to go to
  after the user has clicked the 'Start' link
• $USER_STATUSBAR$: don't know, FIXME
• $USER_CLASSIC_APPSTYLE$: don't know, FIXME
• $USER_when the user clicks "Start" (or equivalent).
  (try it out with the online PhoneBook)
• $USER_STORAGEPROVIDER$: the name of the storage-provider, as
  declared in the web project's Web.config file (generated by
  uigen.exe)
• $USER_CATALOGNAME$: the name of the database (and the
  identifier for the connection string) in the web project's
  Web.config file (generated by uigen.exe) – this should be
  the same as specified for dbschema.exe's App.Config,
  explained here: using dbschema.exe
• $USER_LAYERSUPERTYPE$: The identifier of the domain object
  classes common ancestor (see also: layer super-typeSTATUSBAR$: legacy placeholder, always set to "yes"
• $USER_CLASSIC_APPSTYLE$: legacy placeholder, always set to "no"
