I’ve had a difficult time trying to start a series of posts explaining design of T4 Toolbox. For instance, it includes a class called Template. When I sat down to write about it, the question I asked myself and tried to answer was “What is a Template?” Well, it’s a template. I’ve been thinking about […]

You may have noticed that in my last couple of articles about T4, the download links point to a CodePlex project called T4 Toolbox. This post describes what this project is about.

This article describes a custom T4 directive processor for converting XML schema definitions into .NET classes, which allows using strongly-typed code to extract information from various XML files. In particular, this simplifies creating custom T4 code generation templates for LINQ to SQL .dbml files and ADO.NET Entity Framework .edmx files. The article includes links to ready to use xsd directive processor and sample source code.

July blogs posts about code generation with T4 text templates.

Mike Pagel recently posted an interesting article about T4 on CodeProject called “T4: Extending the Generated Template Class“. In this article, Mike describes several approaches for implementing code generation logic - helper methods defined in class feature blocks, custom directive processors and a custom TextTransformation base class referenced using the inherits attribute of the template […]
