t4

Can you create custom data annotations for the model that can be read inside the T4 template for the View like property.Scaffold is read? I would like to add data annotation parameters like Scaffold based on which I would build the view. Thank you Johnie Karr I wrote a blog post on the solution I came up with for MVC5. I'm posting it here for anyone who comes along: https://johniekarr.wordpress.com/2015/05/16/mvc-5-t4-templates-and-view-model-property-attributes/ Edit: In your entities, decorate property with custom Attribute namespace CustomViewTemplate.Models { [Table("Person")] public class

I'm using Visual Studio 2010, and have the tangibleT4EditorPlusModellingTools installed. I'm just playing around with T4, having never touched it previously. What I'd like to do is look at one of my classes in the project, and write out each of the properties. Could anyone give me absolute beginner tips to how the .tt file should be structured? I've googled this and haven't found an answer, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks. John Farrell This is really hard as T4 templates and reflection don't play nice together.

I have the following problem with my EDMX file. In it I have written some Documentation for the properties as well as the Entities, but the t4 template of my EF 5 doesnt generate those values.

You can use preprocessed T4 templates to return a string instead

With the newest MVC tools, when I add a controller, I get scaffolding for the controller code as well as the CRUD Views. I'm not asking about how to override templates. I understand that I can override the T4 scaffolding templates, but I would like to see the existing built-in scaffolding templates that support the default code generation. Where can I find the T4 code that supports the built-in/default scaffolding for MVC Views and Controllers? Per Hansleman : C:\Program Files (or x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ItemTemplates\CSharp (or Visual Basic)\Web\MVC (or 2) 3

I need to build a class in this form namespace BestCompanyEver { public class PersonInfo { public string Name{get;set;} public int Age{get;set;} } } From a table Person that has columns Name and Age. Are there any ready to use solutions for this? I know I can implement this with T4 or Codesmith, but there should be somebody who already did it. I found some nice T4 template I could use. Its from a project on codeplex. LINQ to SQL templates for T4 The template is hard to read an it took me a while to simplify it. Before you can use it you have to download an include (CSharpDataClasses.tt ) from
