This error is due to some new dependencies in the SMO implementation in SQL Server R2. This has nothing to do with T4 or the T4 Toolbox. You simply need to add the following assembly directive to the template:

< #@ assembly name="Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc" #>

Apparently I need to:

Error 4 Compiling transformation: The type ‘Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.ISfcNotifyPropertyMetadataChanged’ is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly ‘Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=89845dcd8080cc91′. c:\Users\nick\Documents\NonProj_Apps\t4 t2\t4 t2\DeleteProcedureTemplate.tt 12 9

So reference this assembly and the error is still present. Really annoying.

It sounds like your code looks like this:

void LoadTables()
{
   // ...
}

public class MultifileControllerTest
{
    void TestLoadTables()
    {
        LoadTables();
    }
}

The problem here is that LoadTables is an instance method of the GeneratedTextTransformation class. With T4 Toolbox you could call it this way:

TransformationContext.Transformation.LoadTables();

I’m including a file in my generator which declares a method called LoadTables()

When I try to use the method in my controller I get the following error.

“Cannot access a non-static member of outer type ‘Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplatingE192B65E6CF2C8BEF26D39CB464DA901.GeneratedTextTransformation’ via nested type ‘Microsoft.VisualStudio.TextTemplatingE192B65E6CF2C8BEF26D39CB464DA901.GeneratedTextTransformation.MultifileControllerTest’”

Is there any way to declare and use this method within the scope of MultifileControllerTest without bringing in the code?

Thanks for your help.
