Good day!
I want to have ability to build ASP.NET MVC 2 project using VS2010 Publish dialog and from command-line.
For command-line I get the following to work:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\MSBuild.exe .\SolutionFolder\MyProject.csproj /p:Configuration=Release;DeployOnBuild=True;PackageAsSingleFile=False;outdir=c:\_OutputFolder\ The only problem I have that Web.config transformation are not applied (but added to WebDeploy package). I don't use WebDeploy. Is there any way to apply Web.config transformations?
Thanks!

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).
A transform file is an XML file that specifies how the Web. config file should be changed when it is deployed. Transformation actions are specified by using XML attributes that are defined in the XML-Document-Transform namespace, which is mapped to the xdt prefix.
config file is located in the %SystemRoot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\%VersionNumber%\CONFIG\ folder.
You can also try using the XDT Transformation Tool:

I'm using this instead of messing with obscure msbuild targets.
