Different application settings depending on configuration mode

Question

Is anyone aware of a way that I can set application (or user) level settings in a .Net application that are conditional on the applications current development mode? IE: Deb

Answer 1

I had a similar problem to solve and ended up using the XDT (web.config) transform engine, that was already suggested in the answer from ne1410s that can be found here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/27546685/410906

But instead of doing it manually as described in his link I used this plugin: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/579d3a78-3bdd-497c-bc21-aa6e6abbc859

The plugin is only helping to setup the configuration, it's not needed to build and the solution can be built on other machines or on a build server without the plugin or any other tools being required.
