For some code generation tasks, like generating SELECT stored procedures based on indexes of a given database table, number of output artifacts may not be known upfront. Because T4 was designed to generate a single output file from one template file, developers are forced to generate multiple code artifacts in the same source file. This conflicts with the widely used practice of using one source file per code artifact. This article demonstrates how to work around this limitation of T4, generate multiple files from a single template and automatically add them to a Visual Studio project.

This article provides an overview of Visual Studio Templates, demonstrates how to create a project item template for a T4 file and includes a ready-to-use T4 item template.

Musings about Visual Studio Templates. Includes links to articles about Visual Studio Templates and ready-to-use templates for T4 files.

I will be presenting “Code Generation with T4 Text Templates” at the Orlando Code Camp on Saturday, March 22.

This article provides a brief overview of AzMan and demonstrates how several existing APIs can be used to perform authorization checks in .NET applications. It then discusses shortcomings of the current APIs and demonstrates how T4 templates can be used to generate a set of C# classes and enumerations that wrap AzMan COM API and allow application developers to write strongly-typed authorization code.
