How can I change my web.config to give <customErrors mode="Off" /> automatically when I debug

In my Web.Debug.config I have this:

  <system.web>
    <!--
      In the example below, the "Replace" transform will replace the entire 
      <customErrors> section of your Web.config file.
      Note that because there is only one customErrors section under the 
      <system.web> node, there is no need to use the "xdt:Locator" attribute.

      <customErrors defaultRedirect="GenericError.htm"
        mode="RemoteOnly" xdt:Transform="Replace">
        <error statusCode="500" redirect="InternalError.htm"/>
      </customErrors>
    -->
  </system.web>

How can I change this so that it changes the value in the config file to:

<customErrors mode="Off" /> to <system.web> in the web.config file

Eonasdan is on the right track.

The correct way to do this is, in your debug config, set the errors to "Off".

In your Web.Release.config, use a transform: 

<customErrors mode="Off" xdt:Transform="Replace">
</customErrors>

This way, when you push your code to production, use the Web.Release.config file in the Visual Studio dropdown, and the transform will replace what is in the web.config file.

Just change it to this:

  <customErrors mode="Off" xdt:Transform="Replace">
  </customErrors>
