You can use VolatileAssembly custom directive from T4 Toolbox to get around this problem. I have updated the article to include links to details.

If I want to recompile the referenced assembly, I get an error. I end up restarting VS a lot. Annoying... This didn't happend versions before... I use this particular Template to Transform some xml in json using xsl. No big deal. The template is located in a ASP WebApp and the static type/method that transforms the xml are located in a separate dll. The same dll is referenced by the web Application. As i said this wasn't the case with older versions of the t4toolkit Same complains as Kevin

Change the direct reference to use version 10.0.0.0 (or higher) of Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo. VERSIONS IN ASSEMBLY DIRECTIVE
(I hope the following might be useful for somebody)

You can declare the assembly version to use in T4 by declaring it inside the name’s string, like the following example:

assembly name=”Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo, Version=10.0.0.0″

I had to figure out this when I got the following error today:

error BC32206: Compiling transformation: The project currently contains references to more than one version of Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo, a direct reference to version 9.0.242.0 and an indirect reference (through ‘CustomProyectDLL’) to version 10.0.0.0.

Could you provide more details, such as example of your template code, which host you are using to transform it (visual studio, command line), etc?

I'm confused at this because in your example there's no such reference. Also, your assembly references don't include the .dll suffix, but if I remove the .dll suffix from System.dll, I get a different error: "Template1.cs(1,1): error CS0116: A namespace does not directly contain members such as fields or methods". Can you explain what's going on in this situation? My T4 template doesnt compile unless I add an assembly reference to “System.dll”.
