ServiceDefinition(.csdef) Transformation in Azure project

Create the ServiceDefinition environment wise files in azure project

Format: ServiceDefinition.$(Configuration).csdef

Add following line of code 

in Project .ccproj file

      <ItemGroup>

             <EnvironmentDefinition Include="ServiceDefinition.Debug.csdef">

                    <BaseConfiguration>ServiceDefinition.csdef</BaseConfiguration>

               </EnvironmentDefinition>

               <EnvironmentDefinition Include="ServiceDefinition.Production.csdef">

                    <BaseConfiguration>ServiceDefinition.csdef</BaseConfiguration>

               </EnvironmentDefinition>

               <EnvironmentDefinition Include="ServiceDefinition.Int.csdef">

                     <BaseConfiguration>ServiceDefinition.csdef</BaseConfiguration>

                </EnvironmentDefinition>

               <EnvironmentDefinition Include="ServiceDefinition.Dev.csdef">

                    <BaseConfiguration>ServiceDefinition.csdef</BaseConfiguration>

               </EnvironmentDefinition>

               <EnvironmentDefinition Include="ServiceDefinition.Cloud.csdef">

                    <BaseConfiguration>ServiceDefinition.csdef</BaseConfiguration>

               </EnvironmentDefinition>

               <None Include="@(EnvironmentDefinition)" />

      </ItemGroup>

And then  add

  <Target Name="ValidateServiceFiles" Inputs="@(EnvironmentDefinition);@(EnvironmentDefinition->'%(BaseConfiguration)')" Outputs="@(EnvironmentDefinition->'%(Identity).transformed.csdef')">

          <Message Text="ValidateServiceFiles: Transforming %(EnvironmentDefinition.BaseConfiguration) to %(EnvironmentDefinition.Identity).tmp via %(EnvironmentDefinition.Identity)" Importance="High" />

          <TransformXml Source="%(EnvironmentDefinition.BaseConfiguration)" Transform="%(EnvironmentDefinition.Identity)" Destination="%(EnvironmentDefinition.Identity).tmp" />

          <Message Text="ValidateServiceFiles: Transformation complete; starting validation" Importance="High" />

          <ValidateServiceFiles ServiceDefinitionFile="%(EnvironmentDefinition.Identity).tmp" ServiceConfigurationFile="ServiceConfiguration.$(Configuration).cscfg" />

          <Message Text="ValidateServiceFiles: Validation complete; renaming temporary file" Importance="High" />

          <Move SourceFiles="%(EnvironmentDefinition.Identity).tmp" DestinationFiles="%(EnvironmentDefinition.Identity).transformed.csdef" />

 </Target>

<Target Name="MoveTransformedEnvironmentConfigurationXml" AfterTargets="AfterPackageComputeService">

           <Copy SourceFiles="ServiceDefinition.$(Configuration).csdef.transformed.csdef" DestinationFiles="$(OutDir)ServiceDefinition.csdef" />

</Target>
