Are there any free/open source alternatives to Codesmith that would be comparable in features and generate .NET code?

i did the same research a few years ago and found MyGeneration to be very good.

MyGeneration is an excellent code generation and templating tool. Given that its open source as well is a defenite plus. The underly MyMeta API is useful from within your own applications as well and is very powerful.

Depending on your needs, Visual Studio's T4 (Text Template Transformation Toolkit) might be worth a look. Check out Scott Hanselman's article for an introduction.

Hello,
There is a deal where you can get CodeSmith for free (limited time), Check out plinqo.com for more information. Although there are many free and paid alternatives. I think it would be a very wise move for anyone to check out the support options and community behind other Code Generators.
If you go to say a product like My Generation and run into a bug, there is no one to help you but yourself.
Thanks

Codesmith 2.6 is freeware - http://www.codesmithtools.com/freeware.aspx
There is nothing you can't do with version 2.6 - the later versions simply fix a few minor bugs and add a few bells and whistles.
