I have three custom build configurations { Dev, Qs, Prd }. So, I have three app configs { Dev.config, Qs.config, Prd.config }. I know how to edit the .csproj file to output the correct one based on the current build configuration.

<Target Name='AfterBuild'>    <Delete Files='$(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName).config' />    <Copy SourceFiles='$(ProjectDir)$(Configuration).config' DestinationFiles='$(TargetDir)$(TargetFileName).config' /> </Target>

My problem is, I need to have six build configurations { Dev, Qs, Prd } x { Debug, Release }. I need to support the debug and release settings (optimizations, pdb, etc) for each environment. However, the app config values don’t change between debug/release.

How do I keep the build script as generic as possible and use only the three app configs? I don’t want to hard code too many conditional strings.

  1. Something along the lines of

    <PropertyGroup Condition=''$(Configuration)'=='Dev_Debug' OR '$(Configuration)'=='Dev_Release'' >     <CfgFileName>Dev</CfgFileName> </PropertyGroup> <!-- similar for Qs & Prd --> <Target ...>...$(CfgFileName).config...
