Does this work on other *.config files, too? E.g. can I transform my own externalized "appSettings.config" as well?

Hi Mscheuner,

There will be extensibility available for you to be able to modify the externalized "appSettings.config" file... I will eventually write a blog on how to do that as it will require manually editing the web.config file...

This is a very nice feature, and one that I am looking forward to. Is there any chance that the MSBuild task will be made available separately from the whole .NET 4.0 and Visual Studio 2010 release? We will not adopt .NET 4.0 but it would be great to use these transformations in our deployment.

Also, are these transformations based on any kind of standard? If so, the community could build their own task for this (probably without the Visual Studio integration, but still useful).

Again, great feature, thanks!

It is so cool! After this support, we can maintain several web.config for debug, release, test, daily build and so on!

This is a much welcomed improvement over the days of VS.NET 2005 and using Web Deployment Projects. Don't get me wrong, while this has always worked for me in the past change is always welcome. I have always used the following and it has served me well.

Hi Mike,

There is a MsBuild task which will run even if your site is not a .NET 4.0 site... This comes with VS 2010 so as long as you are using VS 2010 to develop your .NET 2.0/3.0 or 3.5 web you should be good there... As for any task or target file as long as you can copy them anywhere you want they should run independent of even VS... Although at this time the task is compiled using .NET 4.0 hence you will need .NET 4.0 on the box even if your site might be targeting 3.5...

Yes the transforms and locators are extensible so you can write custom transforms and locators, I will eventually write a post on that too...

If you were asking whether you can write an MsBuild task for it, then the answer is that all the code for transformation engine, transforms and locators is already part of the same dll which has the MsBuild task; so hopefully you will not have to write a seperate one...

Thanks

Vishal

Thank you for adding this feature. It's a bit overdue IMHO, but better later than never. I gave up on using the "Publish Web Site" feature inside VS long ago because it was just annoying having to muck through my web.config to swap out connection strings and so forth when going from staging to prod. I am hopeful that the web.config transformation feature coming in VS2010 will be compelling enough to bring me back to doing deployment directly inside the VS IDE. Currently I use Nant-Gui for deployment. I never had much success with VS 2008 Web Deployment Projects.
