Update configSource of XML element in web.config using Powershell by passing in Parameters
- by Howard
I am trying to figure out a way to update my web.config for different environments by updating the configSource for the appSettings element in the web.config.
Here are the way I know how to do it.
$xml.get_DocumentElement().appSettings.configSource = $replaced_test
The problem is that I want one base script where I can pass in different nodes to the script that I want to change and update but I am not sure how to do it.
For example, I want to be able to call a powershell script like this
changeWebConfig.ps1 nodeToChange newValueofNode
I hope this was clear enough.
This is the code I have now.
$webConfigPath = "C:\web.config"
# Get the content of the config file and cast it to XML
$xml = [xml](get-content $webConfigPath)
#this was the trick I had been looking for
$root = $xml.get_DocumentElement()."system.serviceModel".client.configSource = $replace
# Save it
$xml.Save($webConfigPath)
