Web Config Transformation to add a child element


You can use the Insert transformation:

 <resizer>    <plugins>      <add name="AzureReader" connectionString="DataConnectionString"            xdt:Transform="Insert" />    </plugins>  </resizer>

Web.config Transformation Syntax for Web Application Project Deployment


If you want to do it using XSLT then here is some guidance as I don't have time right now to knock this out.

  1. Look up the identity transform. That will give you a simple XSLT that duplicates exactly what reads.
  2. Add a template above the generic templates with the following match match="add[@name='MvcRoutingShim']"
  3. Inside the template output the element you are processing using xsl:copy and then output the AzureReader add element

That should get you going.

Make sure you have an XML editor that allow you to do transforms so you can experiment locally until you get it right.
