Also, when I check the log4net.config file after publish, it has the original connection string. What am I doing wrong 
?Thanks!UpdateI had some errors in the code that msbuild were outputting as warnings that I didn't see.I fixed those and now I get some output from MSBuild:\[quote\] AfterCompile: Transforming Source File: log4net.config Applying Transform File: log4net.Live.config Output File: obj\Live\Common.UI.Web.dll.config
Transformation succeeded\[/quote\]This is still a problem, because the file should be named log4net.config, not Common.UI.Web.dll.config...For whatever reason \[quote\] $(TargetFileName)\[/quote\]is taking on the name of the .csproj file name. If I replace it with just log4net, then it outputs correctlyUpdateFile is stuck in obj folder and is not getting picked up when publishing.
