Build 8.12.27.1 of T4 Toolbox includes a new project item template for an AzMan authorization policy XML file and a code generator that produces a C# wrapper for performing operation-based authorization checks against it. The generator creates a separate enumerated type with security operations for each application application in the AzMan policy and a wrapper class with strongly-typed Authorize and CanPerform methods that take these enums as parameters.

T4 Toolbox provides a micro-framework for composite code generators, automatic management of multiple output files in the solution, unit test runner, custom directive processors, ready-to-use code generators and Visual Studio project item templates.

This article describes why you may want to consider using T4 Toolbox in addition to the Text Template Transformation Toolkit (T4) itself.
