I work on a multi-layer solution, a web forms application. All the WebServices are under a project called WS. There are more than a hundred of them. And I call WS from Web Forms project.
I want to use the test services under the Debug configuration and live system under the Release conf.
app.config of WS library project is
<applicationSettings>
<WS.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="settingName"
serializeAs="String">
<value>http://test.x.com/a.asmx</value>
</setting>
</WS.Properties.Settings>
</applicationSettings>
So I added web.Config these lines
<configSections>
<sectionGroup name="applicationSettings" type="System.Configuration.ApplicationSettingsGroup, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089">
......
<section name="WS.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection, System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />
</sectionGroup>
</configSections>
<applicationSettings>
<WS.Properties.Settings>
<setting name="settingName"
serializeAs="String">
<value>http://live.x.com/a.asmx</value>
</setting>
</WS.Properties.Settings>
</applicationSettings>
Then it could launch live services.
in web.debug.config I've tried some transformation; however program still connects with the settings in web.debug (launches live services).
<applicationSettings>
<WS.Properties.Settings xdt:Transform="Replace" xdt:Locator="Match(name)">
<setting name="settingName"
serializeAs="String">
<value>http://test.x.com/a.asmx</value>
</setting>
</WS.Properties.Settings>
</applicationSettings>
How should I change the web.debug.config file in order to connect test services in debug configuration.
Thanks,
This selection is only affects publish not debugging section. I've found it but I couldn't have time to share to answer.
It can be a better solution to use some preprocessor like
#if DEBUG
....
#endif
