Web.config transformation with SlowCheetah and ASP.NET Web site project

asp.net, slowcheetah, vs-web-site-project, web-deployment-project, xslt

Solution

SlowCheetah doesn't support website projects. What behavior were you envisioning here for website projects? For WAP projects they are kicked in during package/publish. For the Web deployment project suggestion I have created an issue to track that at https://github.com/sayedihashimi/slow-cheetah/issues/4, but I'm not sure how that would actually work. I'll have to think about that for a bit.

Update

Website project now has the same publishing support as Web application project, http://blogs.msdn.com/b/webdev/archive/2012/11/20/new-web-publish-updates.aspx, if you would like SlowCheetah to support transforming XML files please vote for it at: https://slowcheetah.uservoice.com/forums/185106-general/suggestions/3398137-support-for-website-project

Problem

I'm trying to use SlowCheetah XML Transforms with an `ASP.NET Web site project` (not an ASP.NET Web Application Project) in Visual Studio 2010. When I right click on the `Web.config` file in my ASP.NET Web site project, I don't see "`Add Transform`" item in the contextual menu. (Note: it works well when a try with an ASP.NET Web Application Project). - Is it possible to use SlowCheetah with an `ASP.NET Web site project` ? Or it's impossible "by design" because this kind of project has limitations ? May be there is a workaround merging the "`*.targets`" files of the "Web Deployment Project 2010" and SlowCheetah...
