We have a client WinForm application that is getting a lot of work done to it. They have requested a lot of minor updates to the application in addition to several longer term projects.

I have ported the application into a GIT repo on DevOps and created a Feature and ProdSupport branch off of the master branch.

Each branch will have a development and test environment that I want to deploy to. I want CI and CD to at least the development environment.

For the build set-up, I run the build in the Release config. This transforms my app.config and I have tokenized certain values so they can be transformed at deployment time during the release.

 <connectionStrings>
<add name="DefaultConnection" connectionString="Data Source=__DB_SERVER__;Initial Catalog=__DATABASE__;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=__DB_USER__;Password=__DB_PASSWORD__"
 providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" xdt:Transform="Replace" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" />
 </connectionStrings>

In the release configuration - I am using the Tokenization: Transform file task to replace the __TOKEN__ with environment variables.

This is working great. My issue is the PublishURL, InstallURL, UpdateURL properties of the winforms application.

I am building the application using MSBuild and passing in the /target:publish flag on the project. I could specify the publish, install, update url properties as a flag on the build command, but that would mean I need to build the app for every environment.

This is not what I want to do. I want to be able to apply environment specific settings at deployment time.

I cannot seem to find what file I need to search for in the app.publish directory that is created to update the Install, Publish and Update url properties.

It is not in the app.config and I did not see any thing in the app.exe.manifest xml files that get generated.
