Web.config Transform - web-config

I have a config that has multiple connection strings. They all point to the same database server. Is there a way to replace a portion of the web.config, i.e.
<connectionStrings>
<add name="Conn1" connectionString="...DataSource=server1;Initial Catalog=DBName..." />
<add name="Conn2" connectionString="...DataSource=server1;Initial Catalog=DBName2..." />
</connectionStrings>
I want to change server1 with server 2. I could do this...
<add xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" name="Conn1" connectionString="...DataSource=server2;Initial Catalog=DBName..." />
<add xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" name="Conn2" connectionString="...DataSource=server2;Initial Catalog=DBName..." />
but wanted to see if there was a more all-inclusive way.

According the msdn documentation of web.config transformation there is no possibility for this kind of transformation. You can only do Replace, Insert, InsertBefore, InsertAfter, Remove, RemoveAll, RemoveAttributes and SetAttributes transformations.

Do you have the "section name" defined in "configSections" ??
<configSections>
<section name="quartz" type="System.Configuration.NameValueSectionHandler, System, Version=1.0.5000.0,Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />

PS
I have a "working" AdoStore example at this post:

Is the amount of time in milliseconds that the scheduler will wait before re-queries for available triggers when the scheduler is otherwise idle. Normally you should not have to 'tune' this parameter, unless you're using XA transactions, and are having problems with delayed firings of triggers that should fire immediately.
It defaults to every 30 seconds until it finds a trigger. Once it finds any triggers, it gets the time of the next trigger to fire and stops checking until then, unless a trigger changes. -->

This code should work....
NameValueCollection config = (NameValueCollection)ConfigurationManager.GetSection("quartz");
You must change your connection string to an EXISTING database.....that is the Quartz database.....creating using the scripts provided in one of the downloadable projects.
Like this maybe:

EF4 The provider did not return a Provider Manifest Token string

Yes, one more question about Provider manifest token. Unfortunately all previous 22 questions was not useful to solve my problem. I developing simple web application using MVC4 + Code First + Sql Express.
Here is my context descendant:
public class MCQContext : DbContext
{
public MCQContext()
: base("name=ApplicationConnection")
{
}
...............
}
And here - part of web.config related to the problem:
<configuration>
<configSections>
<section name="entityFramework"
type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=4.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"
requirePermission="false" />
</configSections>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ApplicationConnection"
connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
<entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">
<parameters>
<parameter value="name=ApplicationConnection" />
</parameters>
</defaultConnectionFactory>
</entityFramework>
So, as you can see, correct connection string passed to base of context class (I got the same error if I rename connection string to "MCQContext" and do not pass anything to parent context class).
I have no idea how to fix it. This behavior reproduced if I creating absolutely empty MVC4 application, remove all packages (I prefer manually specify required assemblies and do not use NuGet) and fix references (including reference to sqlserver express).
The problem with your connection string here is:
<add name="TrempimModel"
connectionString="data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;
AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.sdf;
User Instance=true"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
You're basically defining what "server" you're connecting to - but you're not saying what database inside the file to connect to. Also - the file extension for SQL Server Express database files is .mdf (not .sdf - that's SQL Server Compact Edition) - you need to take that into account, too! (was a typo, according to comment by OP).
You need to define an extra database=.... (or Initial Catalog=.....) in your connection string:
<add name="TrempimModel"
connectionString="data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;
database=YourDatabaseName;
AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;
User Instance=true"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
Then it should work just fine.

Web.Debug.Config with different connection strrings

I have a Web.config file and a Web.Debug.Config file. My Web.Debug.Config file is practically empty and I would like to add to it a connectionstrings section to override the one in the Web.Config file. I tried just adding the connectionstrings section in the config file but it didn't pick it up. I know there are some commands I need to use in one or both config files but am not sure what they are. Can someone help me out please?
Thanks,
Sachin
You should be able to do the following (not tested, but should work) to replace the Web.Config file's connectionStrings section:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<connectionStrings xdt:Transform="Replace">
<add name="AuthenticationDatabase" connectionString="connection-string-here" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add name="OtherDatabase" connectionString="connection-string-here" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>
If you're just looking to update an existing connectionString:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<connectionStrings>
<add xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" name="AuthenticationDatabase" connectionString="new-string-here" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
</configuration>

Web config transform on microsoft.identityModel - 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform' attribute is not declared

I have got a Web.Release.config that is successfully transforming a connection string.
When I add a microsoft.identityModel section I get a warning saying
The 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform' attribute is
not declared
And the transform doesnt work on that section.
What am I missing to get the transform to work?
Complete Web.Release.config here
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<connectionStrings>
<add name="MYNAME"
connectionString="metadata=res://*/Models.MYCOMPANY-Sales-Demo.csdl|res://*/Models.MYCOMPANY-Sales-Demo.ssdl|res://*/Models.MYCOMPANY-Sales-Demo.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="data source=.;initial catalog=MYCOMPANYDemo;UID=MYCOMPANYDBUser;Password=********;multipleactiveresultsets=True;App=EntityFramework""
xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" />
</connectionStrings>
<system.web>
<compilation xdt:Transform="RemoveAttributes(debug)" />
</system.web>
<microsoft.identityModel>
<service>
<audienceUris>
<add value="http://MYCOMPANY-sales-demo.cloudapp.net/" xdt:Transform="Replace"/>
</audienceUris>
<federatedAuthentication>
<wsFederation realm="http://MYCOMPANY-sales-demo.cloudapp.net/" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes(realm)" />
</federatedAuthentication>
</service>
</microsoft.identityModel>
</configuration>
I've run into this also but have gotten it to work. What I did was a "RemoveAll" and an "Insert" instead of a replace/match:
<audienceUris>
<add xdt:Transform="RemoveAll" />
<add value="http://example.com/" xdt:Transform="Insert" />
</audienceUris>
When I do it that way I get the desired transform and output config file.
This appears to be working now with Visual Studio 2012 (v4.5.50709). I still get the 'attribute is not declared' warning in the editor, but the xdt:Transform="Replace" directive is working for me.

Separate ConnectionStrings and mailSettings from web.config? Possible?

Is it possible to separate ConnectionStrings and mailSettings from web.config?
Devel environment has different IP addresses for connectionstrings and smtp mails because of development and testing. We dont want to do tests and devel using live machines and live IP addresses.
Is it possible?
I found the answer on MSDN:
<configuration>
<connectionStrings configSource="connections.config"/>
</configuration>
With file connections.config containing
<connectionStrings>
<add name="name" connectionString="conn_string" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add name="name2" connectionString="conn_string2" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
