Hello, I am trying to prevent web.config transformation on one of the projects that I am working on it. According to the documentation, I should the argument /p:IsWebConfigTransformDisabled=true with dotnet publish command.
After deploying the app with this argument, I did not see any difference and I don't know if it is working or not.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModuleV2" resourceType="Unspecified" />
</handlers>
<aspNetCore processPath="dotnet" arguments=".\Xproject.dll" stdoutLogEnabled="false" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout" hostingModel="OutOfProcess" />
</system.webServer>
</location>
</configuration>

Could you please tell me how you run this command inside the cmd or VS? Besides, what's your
web.Release.config` file? Do you mean if you used the `dotnet publish /p:IsWebConfigTransformDisabled=truecommand the web.config will be still modified by the web.Release.config file? -

2023-12-14T17:52:06.93+00:00 This is how I am using this command with azure pipeline. The build file contains this command:
dotnet build --configuration Release -p:WarningLevel=1 -p:DeployOnBuild=true -p:WebPublishMethod=Package -

2023-12-18T11:05:26.01+00:00 According to this article, transformations to the web.config file can be applied automatically when an app is published based on the configuration. So build command is not working for it, you could try publish command.
