Store ConnectionString on Azure using SimpleMembership

I'm using TFS Service for automatic deployment to Windows azure. The project is a Web Role and some class libraries. The deployment tasks works great - the only question is where to store the connectionstring? Normally I would store it in csdef / cscfg to use the correct value in development and in cloud environment but if I use SimpleMembership I tseems if this is not an option because I have to provide the Web.Config value during initialization.

Does anyone has a "best practice" for this problem?

Thank you!

You can create TFS task to transform web.config before deployment thus changing connection string values to point to your production DB see here for howto http://nirajrules.wordpress.com/2011/07/04/integrating-web-config-transformations-with-tfs-build/

Scott Hanselman also had a good post about web config transformations - http://www.hanselman.com/blog/WebDeploymentMadeAwesomeIfYoureUsingXCopyYoureDoingItWrong.aspx
