How do I add different profiles to an asp.net project?

Question

I have an asp.net project on VS2012 with one profile only "Debug". I keep changing manually the web.config and I would like to use Transformation instead but I understood that different profiles are needed to make transformations. How do I add new profiles in the solution, debug, testing, production to be able to use transformations?

Answer 1

In the menu bar: Build -> Configuration Manager and select New in the "Active solution configuration" drop down.

There are more than configuration transformation to the build configuration - see this answer for more info: Performance difference between debug and release builds
