remove web transform files

Today I am sharing the process that I used to remove web.config transforms after a build. I wish that I could claim that I was able to implement this in a knowledge vacuum, but I had some help. As you can see, all I am doing is creating a list of all files not named web.config and then deleting them.

?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

<Target Name="MvcBuildViews" AfterTargets="AfterBuild" Condition="'$(MvcBuildViews)'=='true'">   <ItemGroup>     <DeleteAfterTransform Include="$(OutDir)_PublishedWebsites\$(TargetName)\Web.*.config" Exclude="$(OutDir)\_PublishedWebsites\$(TargetName)\Web.config" />   </ItemGroup>   <AspNetCompiler VirtualPath="temp" PhysicalPath="$(WebProjectOutputDir)" />   <Message Text="WebProjectOutputDir: $(WebProjectOutputDir)" Importance="low" />   <Message Text="OutDir: $(OutDir)" Importance="low" />   <Message Text="TargetName: $(TargetName)" Importance="low" />   <Message Text="ProjectConfigTransformFileName: $(ProjectConfigTransformFileName)" Importance="low" />   <TransformXml Source="Web.config" Transform="$(ProjectConfigTransformFileName)" Destination="$(OutDir)\_PublishedWebsites\$(TargetName)\Web.config" />   <Message Text="Preparing to remove config transform files." />   <Message Text="Files: @(DeleteAfterTransform)" />   <Delete Files="@(DeleteAfterTransform)">     <Output TaskParameter="DeletedFiles" PropertyName="deleted" />   </Delete>   <Message Text="Deleted Files: $(deleted)" /> </Target>

I hope that you find this post useful.
