Web.config transformation option is greyed out

Question

In VS2010, when I right click on my web.config file the \"Add Config Transforms\" option is greyed out.

Any idea how I can get that back?

Answer 1

I had the scenario where I had an existing configuration named "Dev". There was no Web.Dev.congig file under Web.config and the menu option to add was disabled.

I removed the configuration and added it back again. Upon doing this it added a new Web.Dev.config file and enabled the menu option to "Add config transform". I suspect there was some confusion going on in the csproj file.

It seems that some of this confusion has been cleared up in VS2015.
