t4

I am finding it really difficult to use t4 templates with a non-standard directory structure. I am using links inside my csproj file, which seems to be at the root of the problem. I have it working, however, VS automatically makes a change which breaks things. I've have the following directory structure: /source + MyLib.cs /generate /MyLib + MyLib.tt + MyLib.A.t4 // included by MyLib.tt + MyLib.B.t4 // included by MyLib.tt + MyLib.C.t4 // included by MyLib.tt /build_examples /vs + MyLib.csproj + MyLib.sln MyLib.csproj looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Project

Is it possible to create a Visual Studio item template that generates from a T4 template? My google-fu does not seem powerful enough to yield an answer! Yes, you need to use GAX for that. It has a (rather limited implementation of) custom T4 host that allows you to use T4 as a template language. Yes you can, actually ASP.NET MVC uses this approach when creating View item from Controller item All the Best Muse VSExtensions 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/805979/t4-templates-and-visual-studio-item-templates

I want to generate some code with a T4 Template using EntityFramework. I created a T4 Template in the same Assembly as my currently working EF6 DbContext: <#@ template language="C#" hostspecific="true" debug="True" #> <#@ assembly name="$(SolutionDir)\packages\EntityFramework.6.1.3\lib\net45\EntityFramework.dll" #> <#@ assembly name="$(TargetPath)" #> <#@ import namespace="Conwell.Administration.Data.Entities" #> <# using (var db = new KassenautomatEntities()) { #> //Hello World <# } #> When I run it, I get the following execption: Running transformation: System.InvalidOperationException: The

I have a T4 template that geneates helpert code based on other code that is declared within my project. Because of this, I have to build my project before I run "Transform All Templates". Is it possible to have "Transform All Templates" run as a post-build-event upon a successful build? I've not really tried it myself but I think you want to look into this . You should be able to modify your project files to achieve what you want. An easier solution may be to modify your templates A LA the T4 MVC templates so that they automatically mark themselves as dirty on build (check the docs page and

I'm creating a NuGet package the provides a client for my WebAPI project by reflecting over the ApiController s and creating classes for each one with methods that correspond to the actions defined on the controller. Unfortunately the .tt file is being included in the content folder when I run nuget.exe pack Client.csproj . I've tried creating a .nuspec file with a <files> directive, but I can't seem to exclude the file by itself. Does anyone know how to force the package to exclude the T4 template? The project structure is roughly: Website/ Controllers/ UserController.cs ... Client/ Client.tt

Since T4 runs outside of the context of a project, I don't have access to the current assembly or other assemblies. How can I register access to a referenced assembly, then grab a type from it? I am guessing you want to access an assembly your building in your project. What I've done in the sample code below is adding a project to my solution called TestLib which I build to the folder .\T4Libs in the solution directory. TestLib has a class called MyHelper which holds a magic number. FYI VS2010 SP1 added the great feature in that it no longer locks the imported assemblies so that's a good
