This repo allows you to add a build step to an Azure project to transform *.cscfg and *.csdef files like web.config files. The web.config transform syntaxt (Xdt) is used, see https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd465326(v=vs.110).aspx.

if you only wish to transform arbitrary xml files, see this gist: https://gist.github.com/stombeur/4115f149349d4520409163959b9db387

• add the CustomCloudServicesTargets.targets file to your solution (as a solution item)
• in every Azure .ccproj file for which you want to transform the config files
  • unload the .ccproj file and open it for editing
  • reference CustomCloudServicesTargets.targets in the .ccproj file
  • add the path to the .NET assembly that you want to use the assemblyversion number from
    • the .cspkg and .csfg files that are generated will be postfixed with this assembly's assemblyversion

<Project>
...
  <Import Project="..\AzureConfigTransform.Config\CustomCloudServicesTargets.targets" />
  <ItemGroup>
    <RoleAssembly Include="..\AzureConfigTransform.WorkerRole\bin\$(ConfigurationName)\AzureConfigTransform.WorkerRole.dll" />
  </ItemGroup>
</Project>

• your.sln
• AzureConfigTransform.Config (folder) (name can be changed in CustomCloudServicesTargets.targets)
  • CustomCloudServicesTargets.targets (file, required)
  • AzureConfigTransform.CloudService (folder, name = Azure project name, required for each project that includes the .targets)
    • ServiceConfiguration.Cloud.EnvironmentY.Transform.cscfg (file, optional, one for each environment)
    • ServiceConfiguration.Cloud.EnvironmentX.Transform.cscfg (file, optional, one for each environment)
    • ServiceDefinition.Local.Transform.csdef (file, required, one for each configuration)
    • ServiceDefinition.Cloud.Transform.csdef (file, required, one for each configuration)
  • Another.CloudService (folder)
    • etc ...
