How do I get web config transforms to work with Web Deployment Projects?

I installed Visual Studio Web Deployment Projects 2010 and added a deployment project to my solution. When I 开发者_运维知识库build the deployment project, it does not apply the web.config transform file for the specified configuration.

My web app project has the following files: Web.config Web.Debug.config Web.Release.config Web.Stage.config

I have tried to check the "Enable web.config file section replacement" but that seems to not make a difference. I even tried checking "Use external configuration source file" but that didn't make a difference either.

I've tested the config files using MSBuild from the command line and they work as expected.

Do web deployment projects support config transformations? If so, how do I get them to work?

I was unable to get this to work and used Web Deploy functionality instead. Web deploy supports web.config transforms and seems to be a bit more flexible than web deployment projects.
