Extension which enables ability to transform various config file even there does not exist build definition for the transformation file. Supports all .NET projects even WebSites.
This extension enables ability to transform various config file even there does not exist build definition for the transformation file. For example, if you have multiple configuration transformations, e.g_web.Debug.config_, web.Release.config, web.UAT1.config,web.UAT2.config, web.UAT3.config, web.Production1.config,web.Production2.config. And you want switch between these configuration while developing without changing actual build definition or editing the web.config manually.
It supports all .NET projects (web or app configs) even WebSites too.
