Previewing Web.config and App.config Transformations

Have you ever wondered when you create a Web.config transformation or an App.config transformation if the transformation will be applied correctly without having to publish the site?

Well, with the Slow Cheetah Visual Studio Extension you can do just that!  https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/69023d00-a4f9-4a34-a6cd-7e854ba318b5

It allows you to right click on any Web.config or App.config transformation and select "Preview Transform".  This provides you with a before and after look of your final Web.config file.

This allows you to easily view your final rendering to check for errors and make any corrections as needed before you perform a Publish or a Config Transformation is applied as part of your Continuous Integration Build Process.

How cool is that??
