Using web.debug.config/web.release.config in a Website project?

Question

I have been reading about web.config transformation feature of VS2010 (web.debug.config/web.release.config), and all of them talk about WebApplication projects. What about WebSite projects? Can I use these transformations in a WebSite, or only in a WebApplication?

Thanks!

So, I'm curious... is that a _yes_ or a _no_? – Grant Thomas May 25 '11 at 15:38
@Mr. Disappointment It's a yes but you need some hacks and workarounds. – Pavel Chuchuva May 26 '11 at 01:12

From the new article (second paragraph):

there is no official/supported implementation of XDT for any other project type than Web Application Projects

In the article they said web projects (File/New/Project...). That is different from a website (File/New/Web Site...). Thanks anyway. – Miguel Angelo May 25 '11 at 14:16
I linked a new article that has some good information. If I find anything else, i'll be sure to add it. – MisterIsaak May 25 '11 at 15:39
