How to set attributes in web.config only in release mode?

I want set this attribute only in release mode:

<system.web>
    <httpCookies domain=".mySite.com" />
  </system.web>

This is my Web.Release.Config:

<system.web>
<httpCookies name="someName" domain=".mySite.com"  xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" />
</system.web>

and this is my Web.Config:

<system.web>
        <httpCookies name="someName"/>
      </system.web>

But the httpCookies property not have name attribute!!! and get error that this attribute not valid.

If you just want to change one attribute without replacing the entire node, do this in your Web.Release.config.

  <system.web>
...
    <httpCookies xdt:Transform="SetAttributes(domain)" domain=".mySite.com" />

That will leave the rest of the httpCookies attributes alone, and only change domain. Make sure the new domain= appears after the xdt:Transform or it won't work.

This should work - add this to your Web.Release.config file:

<system.web>
    <httpCookies domain=".mySite.com" xdt:Transform="Replace" />
</system.web>

You don't need the name attribute (it doesn't exist anyway)

This will be the result in the transformed web.config:

<system.web>
    <httpCookies domain=".mySite.com" />
</system.web>

Note that the httpCookies element must be present in your Web.config file for the transform to work.
