Web Config Transformation to add a child element

Question

I've got the following configuration in web.config:

  <resizer>     <sizelimits imageWidth="0" />     <plugins>       <add name="MvcRoutingShim" />       <!--<add name="AzureReader" connectionString="DataConnectionString" /> -->       <add name="DiskCache" />       <add name="PrettyGifs" />       <add name="AnimatedGifs" />     </plugins>   </resizer> 

In web.config.Release, how can I add the AzureReader element as a child of the plugins element (effectively uncommenting out the above)?

I'm familiar with how to do basic transformations but have never done this before.

Answer 1

You can use the Insert transformation:

 <resizer>     <plugins>       <add name="AzureReader" connectionString="DataConnectionString"             xdt:Transform="Insert" />     </plugins>   </resizer>
