Visual Studio 2010 and .NET Framework 4.0 Training Kit - November Preview

You can go to Build-->Configuration and add all different destination configurations like Staging, UAT, Production etc... Next when you right click on your web.config file you will be able to see a command "Add Config Transforms"... This command will add
web.staging.config, web.UAT.config, web.production.config to your project... Hope this helps...
Thanks much for the security hint... I have changed my password now...

Thanks Vishal for sharing web deployment enhancements in VS 2010. I do have following questions, there may be a way already which is not shown in the video:
Looking forward to hear from you soon.

Hi Naresh,
Plz find the responses to your questions inline...

Comment removed at user's request.
I spent the last hour or so watching the video and taking notes - very informative. My area of concern is ASP.NET. I have a question about Packages deployment and the software lifecycle: What is the relationship of packages to ALM/source control products like VSTS/TFS and Serena's Dimensions? Am I correct in assuming that packages could be controlled as objects in an ALM product? How would the equivalent of One Click deployment be initiated when the ALM product "pushes" a package to a target web server or distribution point such as SureSync?
I have another question. This one concerns web.config transforms. I'd appreciate your comments on protecting sensitive data in web.config files, specifically, passwords in connection strings and the relationship of such to transforms.
I have another question. Have you ever considered the philosophy that an application (web.config) should not contain any plaftorm-specific settings? Any such settings would either be fetched at runtime from a settings database or inherited from a web.config in a parent directory. Like many, my organization has wrestled for years with changing settings as a web app migrates from dev to QA to production. We even had Microsoft Consulting Services create a utility that gets added as a reference to a VS setup project that, in effect, performs transforms.
Again, I look forward to VS2010 and will try to find time to evaluate the Beta. Because this post is a little old, I'll also email my comment.
Thanks
Vishal,
Thank you for the video. One question I had has to do with the control alignment tools that existed in VS2005 but no longer exist in VS 2008. For me, not having these alignment tools for an ASP.net applicaton has significantly impacted the time that it takes to complete an application for a customer. Can you tell me if these tools have been put back into VS 2010. Also, concerning accessing and Oracle database. Will you be able to access an Oracle database with LINQ just like you do with SQL?
Thanks
Kenny
Are these options only available for "Web Applications" and not "Web Sites"?
