Do web.config conversions work during the build / development cycle, not just during publishing?

Question

I am trying to develop my first web application using Web.Config transformations.

Attempting to run the application (creating with the assembly configuration "Dev") on the Asp.Net debugging web server built into VS does not work - the configuration "Web.Dev.config" does not work as seen from the application.

Can this be expected? It is only during deployment that transformations occur?

Many thanks!

- asp.net web.config -. web.dev.config ( , ). , Visual Studio IIS.
