How we can make a URL dynamic in [TestInitialize] Method in mstest, c#?

Question

My code is(I replace actual URL with ../../../).

[TestInitialize]
        public static void Initalize()
        {
            AppiumOptions desiredcap = new AppiumOptions();
            desiredcap.AddAdditionalCapability("app", @".../../../..../");
            driver = new WindowsDriver<WindowsElement>(new Uri("http://127.0.0.1:4723"), desiredcap);

            if (driver == null)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("App not running");
                return;
            }
}

I want to make URL dynamic of

desiredcap.AddAdditionalCapability("app", @".../../../..../");

because i want to use this method in different project. Is it possible to write variable url instead of ../../../ and take url value from some other file or from Testcase.

So, you can create base class with Initalize(string capUrl) method and call it in derived classes as here:

    [TestInitialize]
    public static void Initalize()
    {
        base.Initalize("http://SomeUri.com")
    }

If you need to specify it in Testcase. Then you need to remove [TestInitialize] and it's better to rename it to something like "PrepareTest". And call it by hands in test method. Like this:

[Testcase("http://SomeUri.com")]
public void TestMethod(string uri)
{
    this.PrepareTest(uri);
}

Is this solution helps you? Or you need something other?
