I want xml transforms to happen on build instead of only publish.

Problem: I have xml transforms I want to preform on build not only on publish. I also want an easy way to transform my config files during my team build.  Finally I want to use it on app.configs in WPF applications as well. Solution: Use SlowCheetah XML Transforms package.  You can install it from the Extension Manager in Visual Studio.  Explanation: SlowCheetah enables you to transform your app.config or any other XML file based on the build configuration. It also adds additional tooling to help you create XML transforms.  http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/69023d00-a4f9-4a34-a6cd-7e854ba318b5  

I can't view my localized values of my MVC application

Problem: I have changed the language of my browser but I am still only getting me default resources. Solution: Add the following line to your web.config as a child of the system.web element. <globalization enableClientBasedCulture="true" uiCulture="auto" culture="auto"/> Explanation: While working on an ASP.NET MVC application I wanted to test my localized resource files.  From the options of my browser I updated the language.  However, when I viewed the page I continued to see the default values.  Not until I added the globalization element to me web.config did my browser load the correct resources.
