I am a big fan of T4 and from now I am going to post a lot of useful blogposts related to it.
T4 = Text Template Transformation Toolkit
It is a nice text generation framework from Microsoft. It is natively supported by Visual Studio.
Unfortunately out-of-the box T4 lacks some useful features so I will show my findings how to overcome them.
I had some T4 utilities and helpers I wrote from Visual Studio 2010 and some of them are not working in Visual Studio 2012. I will port them to Visual Studio 2012 gradually.
I opened my git repository https://bitbucket.org/mnaoumov/t4
We’ll discuss what’s there step-by-step.
Enjoy!
