Erick,
I found a little time to work on it, but it's still a
fairly intensive solution. I wrote a C# program that
modifies the config files based on environment. You
have to get creative with xpaths in order to use it,
but it does the job. I thought about using pattern
substitution, but too much chance for error... Here's
the program. Hope you find it useful. Let me know if
you have some ideas for improvement.
Thanks,
Eric

This program will open an xml master settings file that contains information to
set settings in all of the config files that are environmentally
dependant. The master file contains:
1) Where to get the config files to change
2) Where to save the changed version down to (staging area)
3) What settings need to be changed
4) The value those settings will be set to for each environment
This program will loop through the settings for each of these files, make
the necessary changes for the environmental settings (environment is passed
in as an argument), and save the config files down in the desired location.
*Example master config section:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configFile name="D:\myProject\myApp\app.config"
newLocation="D:\myProject\Deploy\DocTier\myApp.exe.config">
<setting
xpath="/configuration/appSettings/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'ConnectionString']/@value"
dev="server=server1;database=database1;Connection
Reset=false;Trusted_Connection=True;"
qa="server=server2;database=database2;Connection
Reset=false;Trusted_Connection=True;"
stage="server=server3;database=database3;Connection
Reset=false;Trusted_Connection=True;"
prod="server=server4;database=database4;Connection
Reset=false;Trusted_Connection=True;"
<setting
xpath="/configuration/appSettings/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'ErrorLogPath']/@value"
dev="D:\projects\myProgram\ErrorLogs"
qa="D:\Program Files\myProgram\ErrorLogs"
stage="D:\Program Files\myProgram\ErrorLogs"
prod="D:\Program Files\myProgram\ErrorLogs"
</configFile>
There will be one configFile section for each config file with system dependant
information.
