Slow cheetah not transforming endpoint tags in app.config

i love SlowCheetah for what it is, but having some issues with getting it to transform endpoints in my app.config. I was hoping maybe someone could take a look and see what I am missing or has had this issue in the past.

The app.config default

  <connectionStrings>

    <add name="MyEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/RFPModel.csdl|res://*/RFPModel.ssdl|res://*/RFPModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;data source=developmentServer;initial catalog=databaseName;integrated security=True;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=EntityFramework&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient" />
  </connectionStrings>

  <system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
      <basicHttpBinding>
        <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IMasterEngineService" closeTimeout="00:01:00" openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00" allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard" maxBufferSize="65536" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536" messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered" useDefaultWebProxy="true">
          <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384" maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
          <security mode="None">
            <transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None" realm="" />
            <message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />
          </security>
        </binding>
      </basicHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
      <endpoint address="http://DevelopmentServer/WebServices/MasterEngine/MasterEngineService.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IMasterEngineService" contract="OverlayFarEnd.IMasterEngineService" name="BasicHttpBinding_IMasterEngineService" />
    </client>
  </system.serviceModel>

</configuration>

The Transform for Release is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!-- For more information on using transformations 
     see the web.config examples at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=214134. -->

<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">

  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="MyEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/RFPModel.csdl|res://*/RFPModel.ssdl|res://*/RFPModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;data source=releaseServer;initial catalog=databaseName;integrated security=True;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=EntityFramework&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient"  xdt:Transform="Replace" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" />
  </connectionStrings>

  <endpoint address="http://productionServer/WebServices/MasterEngine/MasterEngineService.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IMasterEngineService" contract="OverlayFarEnd.IMasterEngineService" name="BasicHttpBinding_IMasterEngineService"  xdt:Transform="Replace" xdt:Locator="Match(name)">
  </endpoint>

</configuration>

I do the normal, create Configurations and make sure before I build that I am in the correct configuration / enviornment, but no matter what I do it stays the same development server even when selecting the Release enviornment / configurations.

Any ideas?

-- UPDATE -- Per request, tried:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!-- For more information on using transformations

<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
  <system.serviceModel>
    <client>
      <endpoint address="http://productionServer/WebServices/MasterEngine/MasterEngineService.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IMasterEngineService" contract="OverlayFarEnd.IMasterEngineService" name="BasicHttpBinding_IMasterEngineService"  xdt:Transform="Replace" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" />
    </client>
  </system.serviceModel>

  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="MyEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/RFPModel.csdl|res://*/RFPModel.ssdl|res://*/RFPModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;data source=databaseName;initial catalog=dash;integrated security=True;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=EntityFramework&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient"  xdt:Transform="Replace" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" />
  </connectionStrings>

</configuration>

Didn't work

-UPDATE AGAIN ---

Tried your suggestion of connectionString first.. to no avail

<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">


  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="MyEntities" connectionString="metadata=res://*/RFPModel.csdl|res://*/RFPModel.ssdl|res://*/RFPModel.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string=&quot;data source=databaseName;initial catalog=dash;integrated security=True;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=EntityFramework&quot;" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient"  xdt:Transform="Replace" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" />
  </connectionStrings>

  <client>
      <endpoint address="productionServerName/WebServices/MasterEngine/MasterEngineService.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IMasterEngineService" contract="OverlayFarEnd.IMasterEngineService" name="BasicHttpBinding_IMasterEngineService"  xdt:Transform="Replace" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" />
    </client>


</configuration>

Solution

This is working for me, after making the suggestion in my first comment:

It should be system.serviceModel/client/endpoint, not configuration/endpoint.
