The way I currently handle this is by having multiple config files such as:

web.config web.Prod.config web.QA.config web.Dev.config

When the project gets deployed to the different environments I just rename the corresponding file with the correct settings.

Anyone have suggestions on how to handle this better?

  • WCF Client Endpoint urls and security
  • Custom Database configs
  • Session connection strings
  • log4net settings
