ps1 script to switch asp.net webconfig profile locally, it's useful if you want to try another profile without publishing

SwitchWebConfig.ps1

if (-not $($args[0])) {
Write-Host "The profile variable is null or empty."
}

$xml = Resolve-Path "../web.config";
$xdtPath = "../web." + $($args[0]) + ".config"
$xdt = Resolve-Path $xdtPath;
    

Add-Type -LiteralPath "../Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform.dll"



$xmldoc = New-Object Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform.XmlTransformableDocument;
$xmldoc.PreserveWhitespace = $true

$xmldoc.Load($xml);

$transf = New-Object Microsoft.Web.XmlTransform.XmlTransformation($xdt);
if ($transf.Apply($xmldoc) -eq $false)
{
    throw "Transformation failed."
}
$xmldoc.Save($xml);

This is the pre-build hook that can be used:

powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File ../switchWebConfig.ps1 "$(Configuration)"
