I am familiar with Web.Config transformations where the transformation for each configuration is in the following format Web.{configurationName}.config.

I have now inherited a solution where the transform for each Web.Config follows the following format Web.{configurationName}.Transform.config. The transform files are shown as linked/sub files to Web.config, but visual studio does not recognize them as transformation files thus does not apply the transformations.

Is there perhaps a VS add-inn that has been used to create these that I am not aware of?

Maybe they used the VS plugin "SlowCheetah - XML Transforms" that can be found here: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/69023d00-a4f9-4a34-a6cd-7e854ba318b5

Scott Hanselman has a great article about it : http://www.hanselman.com/blog/SlowCheetahWebconfigTransformationSyntaxNowGeneralizedForAnyXMLConfigurationFile.aspx

You may take a look and see if that solves your problem.
