如何添加嵌套的Web.config文件？

Question

I tried adding a new web.config file to my asp.net app (I went through right click on the project -> add -> Web Configuration File).
However at the Solution Explorer the newly added file is not nested under Web.config. Any idea?
See image -
I would like Web.Staging.config to be nested just as Web.Release.config:

(Assume VS 2012 or 2013).

Answer 1

If all you want is nesting, you could just open your csproj file in a text editor and change this:

<None Include="Web.Staging.config" />

to this:

<None Include="Web.Staging.config">
  <DependentUpon>Web.config</DependentUpon>
</None>

Answer 2

Take a look at this blog .

Specifically:

To add configuration specific transform file (eg Web.Staging.Config) you can right click the original web.config file and click the context menu command “Add Config Transforms”
