Creating Multiple SetParameters.xml from One Build task

Question

I am searching for a solution that allows me to generate a Web Deploy Package and the associated deploy.cmd and SetParameters.xml.

But I need to generate a deploy.cmd and SetParameters.xml Per Environment

I would need my output to look like the following

• ProjectName.DevSetParameters.xml
• ProjectName.DevDeploy.cmd
• ProjectName.UATSetParameters.xml
• ProjectName.UATDeploy.cmd
• ProjectName.PRODSetParameters.xml
• ProjectName.PRODDeploy.cmd
• ProjectName.zip

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check out Sayed Ibrahim Hashimi's blog and web package nuget extension he created. NuGet package that extends the web packaging process in Visual Studio to enable you to create a single package which can be published to multiple environments

Package once publish anywhere - you will need to look at the powershell script it creates and call it from your build task with the appropriate values.

I would up vote if I had the required reputation, plus I was looking for some thing that allowed me to have SetParameter files instead of bundling the Web.Config transforms in the Package. But having looked high and low myself I can see you are correct. – Impotence

Thank you. I upvoted you question so you will get some points. – Molybdenite
