I have an xml document that has a sql query in it. Lets say it looks like this for example:
<commandText> Select ProductID, ProductName
From Product</commandText>
When this gets run through octopack and deployed (via octopus deploy) onto my server it looks like this:
<commandText> Select ProductID, ProductName
 From Product</commandText>
(The newline was converted to 

)
Is there an xml transform I can run after this change has been made to convert this back? (or at least remove the 

)
NOTE: My actual query is a complex merge statement, so I would rather not have it in more than one place.
What you are looking for is WHITESPACE PRESERVE function of XmlDocument described here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmldocument.preservewhitespace%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
Second (and best) approach is to let XML decode automatically. You are using the wrong method to read out the select statement ;)
