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

Note: These transforms are typically ones that you want to do before you go to production.

EXAMPLE 1

In the example below, the RemoveAttributes transform will remove the debug attribute from the <compilation> node under the <system.web> node of your Web.config file.

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

<system.web>
    <compilation xdt:Transform="RemoveAttributes(debug)" />
</system.web>

EXAMPLE 2

In the example below, the RemoveAll transform will remove all <endpoint> nodes when the Match locator finds an attribute binding that has a value of mexHttpBinding.

<system.serviceModel>
    <services>
        <service>

            <endpoint binding="mexHttpBinding"
                      xdt:Locator="Match(binding)"
                      xdt:Transform="RemoveAll" />

        </service>
    </services>
</system.serviceModel>
