When ever we develop ASP.NET application, we keep our entire environmental specific settings into web.config file. Based on where we deploy the application (Dev, Test, Prod), we will comment out other environments which is a manually process. Personally I prefer different web.config files for different environments and based on the Build option you select it should dynamically create the appropriate web.config file for that environment.
