Windows azure project replace ServiceConfiguration.Cloud.cscfg

Question

I have two MVC projects. And I created two WindowsAzure project:WindowsAzure1-> which package MVC1 , and WindowsAzure2-> which package MVC2 project. After CheckIn on Local TFS 2012, I build my solution. MSBuild Arguments:

/t:Publish /p:PublishDir=c:\drops\app.publish\

After Build I see 3 file, instead 4.

1.WindowsAzure1.cspkg 2.WindowsAzure2.cspkg 3.ServiceConfiguration.Cloud.cscfg//It contain config WindowsAzure2.cspkg

I tried to rename ServiceConfiguration.Cloud.cscfg, but it doesn't rename. So, I think the better place package on different folder. But problem that in the future MVC and Azure project will be unknown count. So I need automatically create folder contains name project. So how can it do?

Simple Way to create dynamic folders is through PowerShell Script.

Lets say you have folder structure of projects in following way - enter image description here

Then you can following script to generate package folders -

# Solution directory, which contains all the projects
$path = "C:\Solution"
$folders = Get-ChildItem -Path $path

foreach ($folder in $folders)
{
      if ($folder.Attributes -eq "Directory")
      {
            if($folder.Name -like "*.Cloud")
            {
                New-Item -Path "$($path)\$($folder.Name)package" -ItemType "Directory"
            }
      }
}

Output will be - enter image description here

Then you can use CSPack utility and PowerShell combination to create package and save configuration file to the location of your interest.
