I use ConfigSource = localfile to save my connection strings in a separate file on the productiton server. This works great.
But if you use IIS7 Manager to edit connection strings on the server, the strings will go back to web.config. Subsequent deployments then destroy these changes when a new web.config appears.
II7, if he edits the connection (or installation) lines, he must put them back in the file where they came from.
no?
In fact, it even seems that somewhere in this sequence the original local file is truncated (only in the header line in the XML file) ... which then throws errors after the next deployment.
