What may be happening here is that T4 invokes Visual Basic compiler without specifying the /optioninfer+ command line option. Although the documentation on MSDN says it is turned on by default, the actual behavior appears to be different. You may have to use explicit typing as a workaround. Perhaps this will be fixed in a future version of T4. P.S. I haven't noticed a difference between class feature and statement blocks regarding this behavior. Oleg Ulu,

P.S. I haven’t noticed a difference between class feature and statement blocks regarding this behavior.

For example, I have to set stuff like For Each entityType As Type In typeList instead of For Each entityType In typeList What am I doing wrong? Does it work in C#? P.S. I just noticed it works in class feature blocks. What's the difference? ulu I’ve set template language=”VBv3.5″, but I can’t use type inference. For example, I have to set stuff like

Do you think your network administrator would be open to deploying the T4Toolbox.msi for you?

Can I download a zip file amd manually configure and install the T4 toolbox with VS2008? Hi Oleg,
