From the nuget homepage: ' Transforms all *.config files at build time instead of the default MSBuild behaviour of only transforming the configuration file matching the current build configuration'. CodeAssassin.ConfigTransformД¬odeAssassin.ConfigTransform is a great solution implemented by Jason Stangroome one of my colleagues at Readify. They, however, have a few differences that I will explain below.

Both solutions fix the same problem: they allow you to apply config transformation on any and all config file regardless of the project type. In this article, I am going to talk about two great solutions for config transformation: CodeAssassin.ConfigTransform and SlowCheetah. if you want to deploy to Production, you need to build your solution using a build configuration created for production release (which perhaps is called 'Production') and for Test environment, you need to build using the 'Test' build configuration. On the same line, for the transformation to happen, you need to build your solution using the relevant build configuration e.g. You should have one build configuration per environment for the config transformation to work. I honestly do not understand why Microsoft thinks that only web applications require or deserve config transformation!!

This means that if you want to deploy a desktop application or a windows service that require config transformation, you are out of luck with OOTB solution. It does exactly that and in a very clean way. The out of the box web config transformation built into Visual Studio and MSBuild is awesome.

This way, you will only need to maintain the delta/transformations for each environment. A DRY solution is to use the development config file and just transform it for each environment. You really do not want to maintain a separate config file per environment as it gets messy and unwieldy very quickly. This means that to deploy to each environment you need to change your connection strings, security settings, active directory and network addresses, proxy settings, service endpoints and so on and so forth. To be able to do that, you really want to get as close as possible to the Push-Button deployment so deploying to any environment is just a click away otherwise the deployment will turn into a heavy burden and you will give up on the benefits.Дifferent environments require different settings. ' Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.' One of the biggest promises and benefits of Agile is short feedback loops and to get short feedback loop, we need to deploy our application frequently.
