How to change an endpoint address with XML Transformation in web.config?

Question

I need change the address of this configuration in a web.config:

<client>   <endpoint address="OLD_ADDRESS"     binding="basicHttpBinding"     contract="Service.IService" name="BasicHttpBinding_IService" /> </client> 

to this:

<client>   <endpoint address="NEW_ADDRESS"     binding="basicHttpBinding"     contract="Service.IService" name="BasicHttpBinding_IService" /> </client> 

In my XML-Transformation file (it's working, it changes another add key value)
I have this:

<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">   <client>     <endpoint name="BasicHttpBinding_IService"       address="NEW_ADDRESS"       xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(name)"/>   </client> 

but it doesn't work. I don't understand why it doesn't change, if I locate by name. Any help/tip will be preciated. Thanks

Does the structure of your transformation file match your web.config? Specifically, are you missing a systems.serviceModel element?

<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">    <system.serviceModel>       <client>          <endpoint name="BasicHttpBinding_IService" address="NEW_ADDRESS"            xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(name)"/>       </client>    </system.serviceModel> </configuration>
