web.config transformer does nothing - asp.net

Question

I'm trying to use the web.config transformer, but it does nothing.
Here is my last part of web.config:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IUserInterfaceService" closeTimeout="00:01:00" openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:10:00" allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered" useDefaultWebProxy="true">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
<security mode="None">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None" realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://[WhiteOPS User Interface]:[Port]/UIService/UserInterfaceService/"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IUserInterfaceService"
contract="UserInterface.IUserInterfaceService" name="BasicHttpBinding_IUserInterfaceService" />
</client>
and here is my web.debug.config:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<endpoint name="BasicHttpBinding_IUserInterfaceService" address="http://localhost:80/UIService/UserInterfaceService/"
xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" />
when i run (with or without debuging mode) in the debug configuration, i'm getting an error that this line cannot compiled:
<endpoint address="http://[WhiteOPS User Interface]:[Port]/UIService/UserInterfaceService/"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IUserInterfaceService"
contract="UserInterface.IUserInterfaceService" name="BasicHttpBinding_IUserInterfaceService" />
so why the transformation not happening?
Thanks,

You need to build it up in the same structure as your other web.config.
So you need to wrap it with the same <client> tag, so that the transformer can find it in the same location.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
<client>
<endpoint name="BasicHttpBinding_IUserInterfaceService" address="http://localhost:80/UIService/UserInterfaceService/" xdt:Transform="SetAttributes" xdt:Locator="Match(name)" />
</client>
Hope this helps!
