I'm using web.config transformation as described in the below post in order to generate configs for different environments.
http://vishaljoshi.blogspot.com/2009/03/web-deployment-webconfig-transformation_23.html
I can do a "Replace" transformation by matching on the key, e.g.
<add key="Environment" value="Live" xdt:Transform="Replace" xdt:Locator="Match(key)" /> And I can do "Inserts" e.g.
<add key="UseLivePaymentService" value="true" xdt:Transform="Insert" /> But what I would really find useful is a ReplaceOrInsert transformation, as I can't always rely on the original config file having/not having a certain key.
Is there any way to do this?

A Transform attribute on a parent element can affect child elements even if no Transform is specified for them. For example, if you put the attribute xdt:Transform="Replace" in the system. web element, all the elements that are children of the system. web element are replaced with the content from the transform file.
A Web. config transformation file contains XML markup that specifies how to change the Web. config file when it is deployed. You can specify different changes for specific build configurations and for specific publish profiles.
If you have a web application project, Right-click on web. config and choose Add Config Transform. This will add any config transforms that are missing from your project based on build configurations (i.e. if you have Production and Staging build configs, both will get a transform added).
In conjunction with xdt:Transform="Remove" use xdt:Transform="InsertIfMissing" in VS2012.
<authorization xdt:Transform="Remove" /> <authorization xdt:Transform="InsertIfMissing"> <deny users="?"/> <allow users="*"/> </authorization> If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
