T4 code generation without Visual Studio 2010?
Is it possible to run T4 code generation without needing Visual Studio 2010? Basically I have to build an in house ORM (don't ask..if I had a choice I wouldn't). I was planning to use subsonic as a base but change some things and how they work. However my main question is can I run T4 from an external application that I write, so I can use the features of T4? Or am I better off doing it myself (which I doubt)? Michael Maddox TextTransform.exe will do what you want for simple scenarios: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb126245.aspx Here is how to run a T4 template from your own code for
