Hello,

I am working on a cloud application. When I test out the application on my computer I want to have my connection string set as follows in ServiceConfiguration.cscfg:

<Setting name="DataConnectionString" value="UseDevelopmentStorage=true" />

When I publish to the cloud I need to have it set as follows:

<Setting name="DataConnectionString" value="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=xxxx;AccountKey=yyy" />

I keep going from one environment to the other and keep having to change the DataConnectionString.

Is there a way that I can automate this? I looked around and can't see any examples but I'm sure some others have the same problem as me.

Thanks,

Nancy
