T4 template for generating SQL view from C# enumeration(olegsych.com)

submitted by olegsycholegsych(335) 3 years, 10 months ago

Database tables often contain columns that store “codes”, or values with special meaning. In application code, these special values can be encapsulated as enumerations. This article demonstrates how to use T4 code generation templates and Visual Studio CodeModel API to generate SQL views that encapsulate the special values for use in SQL code. read more...

How to generate multiple outputs from single T4 template(olegsych.com)

submitted by olegsycholegsych(335) 4 years, 1 month ago

For some code generation tasks, like generating SELECT stored procedures based on indexes of a given database table, number of output artifacts may not be known upfront. Because T4 was designed to generate a single output file from one template file, developers are forced to generate multiple code artifacts in the same source file. This conflicts with the widely used practice of using one source file per code artifact. This article demonstrates how to work around this limitation of T4, generate multiple files from a single template and automatically add them to a Visual Studio project. read more...

How to use T4 to generate strongly-typed navication class in ASP.NET(blog.devarchive.net)

submitted by olegsycholegsych(335) 4 years, 3 months ago

In this article Kirill Chilingarashvili demonstrates how to use a T4 template to generate a navigation class in ASP.NET. This class contains nested classes that represent folders and string constants that represent users control (.ascx) files in the application. Using such navigation class helps to avoid hardcoding file paths as string literals and because it is automatically generated there is no need to maintain string constants manually. read more...
