How do you use Web.config Transformation?

Question

When I create a deployment package web.config is changed, but I don't understand this part:

I have two web.config transformation files, web.debug.config and web.release.config.

Are these transformation files only available or working when we make a web deployment or make a deployment package? Are the web.config transformations not used when the project runs locally from visual studio (e.g. via IIS Express)?

Answer 1

You can invoke it using MSBuild and an extension called SlowCheetah.
