Web.config transformation in MSBuild script

/ Published in: XML

This snippet transforms web.config files after the source Get. We are doing automatic deployment from our build server (not from a desktop build) and I wanted to make use of the web.config transformations in VS2010.

It uses the MSBuild extension pack to change file attributes. If anyone knows an easier way to do this please let me know.

<PropertyGroup>
  
  <GetDependsOn>
    $(GetDependsOn);
    WebConfigTransformation;
  </GetDependsOn>
</PropertyGroup>

<ItemGroup>
    <_WebConfigFiles Include="$(SolutionRoot)\MyFirstProject\*.config">
      <Attributes>Normal</Attributes>
    </_WebConfigFiles>
    <_WebConfigFiles Include="$(SolutionRoot)\MySecondProject\*.config">
      <Attributes>Normal</Attributes>
    </_WebConfigFiles>
    
  </ItemGroup>
  <MSBuild.ExtensionPack.FileSystem.File
          TaskAction="SetAttributes"
          Files="@(_WebConfigFiles)" />

<Exec Command="$(FrameworkVersion40Dir)\msbuild.exe &quot;$(SolutionRoot)\MyFirstProject\MyFirstProject.csproj&quot; /T:TransformWebConfig /P:Configuration=%(ConfigurationToBuild.FlavorToBuild);RunCodeAnalysis=Never"/>
