Use T4 templates in Visual Studio to generate code

Before watching the video of Hilton giesenow (How do I: create and use T4 templates.), I realized how easy it was to use T4 in Visual Studio 2008. If you are interested in using T4 templates in Visual Studio, make sure that you have downloaded and installed the T4 editor. Code To quickly create a T4 template, create a console application in Visual Studio 2008, select "Add new project" and select "Text File ". When naming a file, make sure that you use the "TT" extension. As you can see below, I added a text file named mytemplate. TT. Visual Studio automatically creates the mytemplate. CS file for you. Write some T4 template tags, which is basically inline ASP, In the mytemplate. TT file as such: In mytemplate. compile the following mark in TT (similar to ASP) <# @ template Language = "C #" #> using system; public class testclass {public void writetoconsole () {<# For (INT I = 0; I <10; I ++) {#> console. writeline (<# = I. tostring () #>); <#}#>} when you save the file, the following C # code is automatically generated to mytemplate. CS file: using system; public class testclass {public void writ Etoconsole () {console. writeline (0); console. writeline (1); console. writeline (2); console. writeline (3); console. writeline (4); console. writeline (5); console. writeline (6); console. writeline (7); console. writeline (8); console. writeline (9);} in program. write the code in the CS file and run the generated code using system; namespace consoleapplication5 {internal class program {Private Static void main (string [] ARGs) {New testclass (). writetoc Onsole (); console. Readline () ;}} you can run it and use the code generated by T4 template in Visual Studio 2008. There is no strong reason to use T4 template to generate code in the case of generator and O/R mapper. However, at least he provides us with a choice. Hope to help Denny. Dong
