Web.Debug.config is an XML transform file that specifies how the Web.config file should be changed when it is deployed in Debug mode.

EXAMPLE 1

In the example below, the SetAttributes transform will change the value of the connectionString attribute to use ReleaseSQLServer only when the Match locator finds an attribute name that has a value of MyDB.

<connectionStrings>

    <add connectionString="Data Source=ReleaseSQLServer;Initial Catalog=MyReleaseDB;Integrated Security=True" 
         name="MyDB"
         xdt:Locator="Match(name)"
         xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" />

</connectionStrings>

EXAMPLE 2

In the example below, the Replace transform will replace the entire <customErrors> node of your Web.config file with what's below.

Note that because there is only one <customErrors> node under the <system.web> node, there is no need to use the xdt:Locator attribute.

<customErrors defaultRedirect="GenericError.htm"
              mode="RemoteOnly" 
              xdt:Transform="Replace">

    <error redirect="InternalError.htm"
           statusCode="500" />

</customErrors>
