How can I use Web.debug.config in the built-in visual studio debugger server?

I added a Debug/Release web.config transformation file to a web application project.

While its working when I build a deployment package it is not applied when I simply "start debugging" (green play button). Is this the expected behaviour or should the transformations be applied? What are best practices to switch between different co开发者_Go百科nfigurations in development?

How can I raplidly test if a web.config transformation works and whats the resulting web.config file?

No; only when you build the deployment package - and they are not applied to the files in your project at all - so they are not present from the project, debugging or otherwise - without some custom step to get the transformed web.config moved.
