I had finally time to release new version of Config Transformation extension for Visual Studio, now with support of Visual Studio 2015. You can download it here.
Quick Overview
This extension enables ability to transform various config file even there does not exist build definition for the transformation file. For example, if you have multiple configuration transformations, e.g web.Debug.config, web.Release.config, web.UAT1.config, web.UAT2.config, web.UAT3.config, web.Production1.config, web.Production2.config. And you want switch between these configuration while developing without changing actual build definition or editing the web.config manually.
It supports all .NET projects (web or app configs) even WebSites too.
