How do I get an msbuild task to do config transforms on a collection of files?

Question

I am trying to transform all of the web.config files in a project I have, here\'s a my tree structure:

• Transform.bat
• Transforms
  • ConfigTransfo

I think you were pretty close. I have pasted a sample below which shows how to do this.

In my sample I discover the transform sitting next to the web.config file itself. For your scenario you can just use an MSBuild property pointing to a specific file.

  

  
    Release
    C:\temp\transformed-files\
